Chapter 82 The Troubled Arsenal
"Who do you think Arsenal is looking at?"

The reporters on the sidelines have completely stopped paying attention to the game on the field at this time. A game that has no suspense is still far from the heavy news that Arsenal wants to buy someone.

"I think there is a high probability that it is a player from Southampton. It seems that the young people in Southampton are all outstanding. Maybe Coach Wenger has tasted the sweetness from Fabregas' transfer and started looking for similar deals?"

"Besides, Arsenal's financial situation is not ideal because of the construction of the new stadium. It is a normal choice to invest in some young people now. After all, they do not have the financial resources to compete with clubs like Chelsea in the transfer market for players!"

A seasoned reporter's view is shared by other journalists, and this is the most likely guess.

"Southampton is being targeted. If you are lucky, you will rush to the Premier League at the end of this season, and then sell these famous players to make a fortune to avoid relegation. If you are unlucky, if you don't return to the Premier League, they may not be able to keep any of these young people!"

……

In the end, Southampton scored a goal from Prudton in the second half and defeated Preston at home with a score of [-]-[-], winning their first victory since the last few games.

After the change, Southampton used a big victory to stabilize its position in the standings, and also told other teams that the invincible Southampton at the beginning of the season is back!

In the post-match press conference, Redknapp praised his team's performance without hesitation, especially Yunfei's performance!

"We played very well in this game. The victory of this game has been locked in the first half. The boys performed very well and lived up to my expectations of them. Especially Yunfei, he proved himself with his strong return. I believe he will be even stronger in the future!"

However, the reporters are definitely not satisfied with Redknapp's general evaluation. They are very curious about Yunfei's current status in the team, because Yunfei has obviously secured the team's main position. So, does this mean that Yunfei has become the team's new midfield core? This is more news worth reporting.

"Everyone can see Yunfei's excellent state and his importance to the team! This is also an important reason why he can get the chance to start! But he is still too young, he is only 16 years old, and the core of the midfield is still far away from him. Our team does not want him to bear this pressure too early. He needs more room for growth. This is the best choice for him and the team!"

For an old fritter like Redknapp, it must be very clear what to say to the media, but the reporters are naturally not satisfied. This kind of statement has no explosive points and is worthless. If Redknapp said that Yunfei is the core of this team's midfield, then there is much room for speculation!
"Coach Redknapp, according to the news we got, Arsenal's chief scout Steve Rowley also appeared in the stands during this game. He came to investigate Arsenal's transfer targets. How do you comment on this news? Has Arsenal contacted Southampton about the player's transfer?"

When Redknapp heard the reporter's words, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that these reporters would not ask this question for no reason. Since they said it, it must be true, which made Redknapp a little upset.

"Arsenal? I don't know about this matter. I can only reply no to what you said. Our players all have contracts. Anyone who wants to get them must go through the club, but the club has not received any news about this."

"Also, my players have no plans to leave at present, at least no one will leave before the end of the season!"

After speaking, Redknapp got up and left the press conference. He knew that if he stayed like this, sooner or later, more acute and difficult questions would arise.

……

"Arsenal, really haunted!"

Redknapp looked at the newspaper in his hand, and saw that there was a photo of Yunfei and Walcott hugging on the field, with a sensational headline next to it.

"Packing Southampton double stars? Coach Wenger's latest goal!"

Redknapp had a reason to be angry. The team looked like they were about to return to the winning track. Now that Arsenal had done something like this, it would undoubtedly greatly shake the morale of Walcott and Yunfei, at least making them a little uneasy.

No matter who faces the invitation of a big club like Arsenal, they will inevitably feel wavered, let alone these two young boys!

"What's the situation with Yunfei and Theo now, have they had any private contact with Arsenal?"

Redknapp looked seriously at Taylor beside him. He didn't want his most important player to be poached just after changing the team!

"I've already talked with Yunfei and Theo. Yunfei probably hasn't done it yet. His management rights are temporarily placed on Gareth's father. The feedback he gave me should be true. On Theo's side, I feel that he is a little shaken!"

The first half of Coach Taylor's words made Redknapp feel relieved, but the second half made him nervous again.

"Confused, what's the point of him going to a giant at such a young age, can he play in the game?"

Redknapp shook his head helplessly. Even though he said so, young people are irresistible to wealthy families. After all, everyone has the dream of reaching the sky in one step, and everyone feels that they are different. Maybe they can gain a firm foothold in wealthy families?
After all, if you missed this opportunity, the next time might be when it will be.

"Let's try to persuade, the club, I'll talk!"

This is the real reason why Redknapp is so anxious. The player's willingness is on the one hand. If the club doesn't let him go, then no one can do anything.Now he is afraid that the club will agree to the other party's offer because of the high transfer fee.Because the club is now relegated, if it can obtain high transfer income by selling youth training players, it will not only improve the team's financial situation, but also strengthen the team's strength through signings, killing two birds with one stone.

"After all, it's a big club. They just released a message. We're going to be on the verge of a big enemy. All kinds of defenses are really helpless!" Redknapp sighed. This is the tragedy of a small club. There is no way, "Taylor, you can go and talk to Theo, and you can call his good friends to persuade him. Anyway, he can't leave the team before the end of the season!"
