Seven big domestic deals that could go through in the Premier League this summer, including key Arsenal targets

2) Thomas Vermaelen (Arsenal to Manchester United)

One big deal that has been suggested to be imminent between two of the country’s biggest clubs is a proposed transfer taking Arsenal club captain Thomas Vermaelen to rivals Manchester United.

The Gunners would be likely to recoup around £11m for Vermaelen, a fee that would represent good business for a player who was unable to break up the impressive partnership of Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker at the heart of the Arsenal defence last season.
