One centre-back who won’t be joining Arsenal this summer is Axel Disasi.

The 22-year-old was heavily linked with a move to the Gunners a few months ago, and The Daily Mail claimed that Mikel Arteta wanted the young stalwart in North London.

But speculation went a bit cold from Arsenal’s end and now we know why – because he has joined Monaco.

The French powerhouse has penned a five-year deal with the Principality club.

Here’s how some fans of the Emirates Stadium outfit reacted on Twitter to missing him.

The good news here is that it allows Arsenal to focus on other targets – like, say, Gabriel Magalhaes for example.

According to ESPN, the Lille centre-back is definitely game to join Arteta’s side this summer, but there’s still a lot left to do for Arsenal to get that one over the line, it seems.
