Bayer Leverkusen do not want to sell Jarell Quansah this summer, even though the defender wants to make the move to North London.The defender only moved to Germany about a year ago from Liverpool and has been one of the most important players in the Leverkusen team. He was also in the England squad for the World Cup this summer, where he played some games for the Three Lions, who believe he is a top player in their pool.Arsenal want to sign Ezri Konsa, but he is too expensive, so they have turned their attention towards Quansah, who is young and could do well for their team for a long time.Leverkusen Want to Keep QuansahHowever, Football365 claims that Leverkusen consider him too important to sell and their intention is to block his move back to England this summer.Quansah is seen as a key figure in their team, and they have no plans to offload him so soon as they look to ensure they have a better squad for this season.His importance to Leverkusen means Arsenal face a difficult task if they want to complete the transfer. Although Quansah wants to move to North London, his current club has made its position clear and is not interested in losing him.Arsenal will therefore have to decide whether they are prepared to push ahead despite Leverkusen’s stance. The defender’s age and potential make him an attractive option, but his club’s reluctance to sell could significantly increase the cost.Arsenal Face Difficult NegotiationsArsenal are expected to keep pushing, but if they insist on getting the deal over the line, they face paying more than they want to sign him. That is the price to pay for signing a player whose club does not want to sell.Quansah’s desire to join Arsenal could help the Gunners in their pursuit, but Leverkusen remain in control of the situation while the defender remains under contract with them.The Gunners have already identified Quansah as an alternative to Konsa, but securing his signature will not be straightforward. Leverkusen believe he is too important to their plans and want to keep him as they prepare for the new season.Arsenal must now determine how far they are willing to go financially to sign Quansah. If Leverkusen refuse to lower their demands, the Gunners could have to choose between paying a premium or pursuing another defensive option._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
