Congrats to Almiron. Best number 10 in the league. He is a big deal, it was only a matter of time.

I was surprised the transfer fee for Almiron, a reported $11 million pounds, was not higher.

Surprised also -- google might have failed me, but looks like AU paid a $13 million transfer fee for him back in 2016.

I didn’t remember the huge sum paid, $13-million transfer fee was apparently an MLS record in 2016. Also, apparently Arsenal had interest in signing him back in 2016 as well and this may have influenced the amount.

Fwiw, Doug Roberson of the AJC says that the quote from Eales "is not true." It's also worth considering that there has been talk of transfer fees more in the $20M range for Almiron, so (if true) this would be a huge reduction relative to those expectations.
Roberson link:
And even if the Eales quote is real, he says England without specifying a club. That doesn't necessarily mean Arsenal.
Regardless, it would be great to actually establish ourselves as a launching pad to Europe after all of the talk thus far.

Rumor has it that George Bello and his team, with the blessing of AU, has taken the opportunity of the FIFA mandated international break, to go for a "visit" to Europe.
