His move to Al Hilal will surpass the £40 million Arsenal received from Liverpool for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the summer of 2017.

The Gunners have also agreed a deal to sell midfielder Fabio Vieira to Hamburg. The transfer is expected to be worth around £7.7 million and Vieira is on his way to Germany to finalise the move.

Barcelona agree £8.6m deal to sign Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal

Barcelona equally agreed a deal in principle with Arsenal to sign Gabriel Jesus for €10 million (£8.6 million).

With the sales of Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, and Fabio Vieira, the Premier League club could raise £72 million today alone.

They have already made £45 million in sales this window.
