Chapter 2 Arsenal! Eriksson?

Arsenal and Tottenham are old and mortal enemies.

But there will also be transfer operations between them.

The most famous one is undoubtedly the 2001-2002 season, when Tottenham captain Sol Campbell switched to Arsenal.

This triggered fierce public opinion in London at the time, and Tottenham fans regarded Campbell as a traitor.

Even now, Sol Campbell is regarded as a pillar of shame among Tottenham fans.

But for Sol Campbell, he was successful at Arsenal.

His transfer made Arsenal the most competitive team in the Premier League at the time.

At the same time, there will also be some insignificant transfers between the two teams. They will not be as intense as Sol Campbell, but transfer operations will also be carried out.

After all, in London, which has a strong commercial atmosphere, everything will be based on money, and no one will have trouble with money.

For this reason, when Tottenham received Arsenal's transfer offer, although they were slightly angry, they still viewed the issue with normal fluency.

But in this session, the pressure was on Eriksen.

Eriksson, who was on vacation in his hometown in Denmark, was shocked when he received the news.

Arsenal made an offer for him?

Arsenal are Tottenham's bitter rivals, so Eriksen has not included them in his transfer list.

However, when he received the news and seriously considered it, he found that Arsenal met all his requirements.

Strong competitiveness in the European war.

There are many stars in the team.

With strong financial resources, it has the potential to win multiple championships.

No matter from any point of view, this is a very good transfer target.

And now Eriksson is at his peak, gearing up for a big fight.

He doesn't care about the so-called competition. He is confident that he will be qualified to start in the competition.

For this reason, from the initial confusion and slight resistance, after a good sleep, he began to have a strong desire to transfer.

Although the opponent's rival, although he understands that after the transfer, he will be engraved with shame by Tottenham fans.

But at the same time, he also knew very well that a person only lives once.

If he can't succeed at Tottenham, he won't necessarily succeed at Arsenal.

A stronger team is what he has been pursuing.

Arsenal's offer made him very happy.

The most important thing is that Arsenal's offer is very sincere. The initial offer was 110 million pounds.

The question now is to see how Tottenham responds.

Eriksen is waiting for feedback from Tottenham, but there seems to be no news from Tottenham again.

At this time, Eriksson was a little anxious.

"I think we should communicate with the club."

Eriksen said to the agent.

Before, he had been in a bad situation. The transfer was definitely necessary, but he did not have such a strong desire to transfer.

It's all about better treatment.

Now, it's not just a matter of treatment, but Arsenal's offer has once again aroused his passion for the championship.

He believes that if he joins Arsenal, he will be able to perform better than Wilshere in the same position.

He has always believed that the reason why Wilshere has been able to serve as the starter at Arsenal is largely due to Lucky's protection from behind.

And if it were him, with a strong point like Lucai behind him, his performance would be even better.

And he can also give Arsenal better offensive organization.

When he thought of this, Erikson couldn't wait.

The agent immediately contacted the club. As expected, the club's attitude was that the current offer was not particularly satisfactory.

The greedy Levi still wants higher rewards, which is to squeeze out the last value from him.

"Bullshit businessman!"

Eriksson gritted his teeth.

From the very beginning when the salary adjustment was made, he was disgusted by Levi.

And now, he is stuck with Eriksen's transfer.

You know, Eriksen has been playing for Tottenham for such a long time, and he has worked hard without credit, not to mention that he supported the team during the most difficult period of Tottenham.

But now, these past friendships are no longer mentioned at all, and it is completely a commercial attitude.

This wiped away the last trace of Eriksen's affection for Tottenham.

"Tell Tottenham that 130 million is the final offer, and I will not pay for their greed!"

Erikson's tone was cold.

If Tottenham really does something that makes him unhappy, then he will fight for a year and not let Tottenham earn a single point of transfer fee.

Sure enough, Eriksson's threat paid off.

Among Arsenal's three rounds of offers, the second round offer had reached 125 million euros, and in the end Tottenham also accepted this offer.

The two sides can now sit at the negotiating table and conduct specific transfer exchanges.

Seeing this result, Eriksen couldn't help but let out a long breath.

But based on his understanding of Tottenham's chairman, Eriksen was still worried, so he and his agent rushed to London overnight to participate in the transfer negotiations in person.

It is impossible for him to let Levi insert some transfer contracts that are unfavorable to him.

At the same time, news came out that Tottenham and Arsenal had reached an agreement on the transfer of Eriksen.

For Tottenham fans, this is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

Although they mocked Eriksen at home, they thought Eriksen was not as good as Modric.

But they never thought that one day Eriksen would transfer to Arsenal.

And Tottenham actually accepted the offer.

The situation now is that Tottenham fans are very angry. They think Eriksen is a traitor.

He can choose to join other clubs or even leave the Premier League, but why Arsenal?

Doesn't he know that Arsenal is Tottenham's mortal enemy?

Obviously, this is impossible.

That night, many Tottenham fans gathered and began to burn Eriksen's jersey to express their attitude.

The extreme behavior of Tottenham fans also made Eriksen angry. After all, he thought that he had not been respected enough during his time at Tottenham, and now he was called a traitor, which he could not agree with.

Tottenham fans were scolding Eriksen.

And Arsenal fans were saying "Welcome Eriksen".

Compared with the two, Eriksen turned to Arsenal very straightforwardly.

Before the contract was even finished, he had already unfollowed Tottenham, and at the same time followed Arsenal, especially Arsenal players such as Lucky.

This was to completely cut off the relationship with Tottenham.

London in June had already become lively, and the transfer drama of this summer window was also completely launched under the influence of Eriksson.

The process of the two sides reaching an agreement was not achieved overnight.

The wrangling between the two sides will continue for a while, but with Eriksson completely leaning towards Arsenal, Tottenham became very passive.

Because they did not receive many of the fees they should have.

And they did not dare to further stimulate Eriksson, after all, this guy is now determined to waste a season and drag Tottenham into the muddy water.

For this transfer fee, Tottenham can only endure it.

After a full half month of negotiations, the transfer was finally agreed.

Eriksson joined Arsenal with a transfer fee of 130 million euros, and his annual salary at Arsenal reached 6 million pounds.

Seeing this result, Eriksson finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only did he join Arsenal, a competitive team.

At the same time, he also got a salary increase.

At this moment, Eriksson finally felt like he had climbed out of the quagmire.

On the other hand, Harry Kane, who always clamored to leave Tottenham, rejected Manchester City's offer at the last minute, saying that he would stick to Tottenham.

I don't know what kind of magic potion Tottenham gave him, but at this moment, Harry Kane was completely ready to finish his career at Tottenham.

For Arsenal, after finalizing Eriksson, their transfers also entered a flat period.

The two most important transfers have ended.

Although a full 200 million euros in transfer fees were spent on this, based on Arsenal's outstanding performance last season, they have sufficient funds and confidence to expand and strengthen their lineup.

What's more, Arsenal sold Wilshere and Koscielny together for a full 150 million euros.

With one in and one out, they actually didn't spend much.
