Vito MannoneAndrey Arshavin has gone back to Zenit, Nicklas Bendtner looks set to depart after Arsenal have accepted five offers for the Dane, while Johan Djourou is expected to join Hamburg on loan.

The latest name to be added to the list of casualties is Vito Mannone, who, according to The Sun, is wanted by Sunderland, with the Black Cats ready to offer£2.8 million for the shot-stopper.

It is thought the 25-year-old is wanted by Paolo Di Canio to replace Simon Mignolet, who is leaving to join Liverpool, and talks between the two clubs are believed to be underway with a deal expected to be completed before Monday.

Mannone joined Arsenal in 2006 but has failed to breakthrough into the first-team. During this time he has been loaned out to Barnsley and Hull and only managed to make 13 appearances for Arsenal last season due to injuries to both Wojciech Szczesny and Lukasz Fabianski who are both ahead of him in the pecking order.

And with Julio Cesar reportedly on Arsene Wenger’s wanted list this summer, Mannone will surely see less action than he did last season.

If we can get £2.8 million for him we’ll be laughing.

  • davi says:

    He’s a solid enough keeper. I suppose the transfer fee sounds about right given his lack of experience but he’ll probably look like a bargain for them in the end. People seem to forget who was in goal during a lot of our excellent early-season defensive form.

  • chimex says:

    swap him with Segsseon n sell gervinho!

  • Sule95 says:

    He do’s have talent , but it’s about time arsenal get rid of him £2.8 mill is worth it .! So I say sell him.

  • Chris says:

    YES sell him.

  • Balogun Ayodele Lawrence says:

    Yes Sell him for at least he’ll be seeing action which is good for him & his career rather than warming the beach.

  • kelechi says:
