Galatasaray could now sell Arsenal transfer target Sacha Boey with talks over a sale believed to be imminent.

Arsenal target Sacha Boey appears to be on the move with Galatasaray holding talks in the UK over a possible sale.

That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who reports that members of the Galatasaray board are now in the UK.

Galatasaray are set to hold talks with two mystery clubs as they consider cashing in on defenders Sacha Boey and Victor Nelsson.

Fees of around €25million (£22million) are wanted for both Boey and Nelsson and negotiations are imminent.

Galatasaray seem willing to lose two key players if they can bring in hefty fees – and Arsenal may well be very interested.

Arsenal are keen on signing Sacha Boey

Right back Boey has been heavily linked with a move to England this season.

Turkish-Football reported in March that Newcastle United had made contact to try and tee up a summer deal for Boey.

Fanatik claimed way back in October that Liverpool had scouted Boey and Nelsson, seemingly eyeing up both players.

Yet when it comes to Boey, the strongest link of late has been with a move to Arsenal.

Tutto Mercato Web suggested in March that Arsenal were still keen on Boey having failed with a January bid.

Bacary Sagna has backed the ‘amazing’ Boey for a move to Arsenal and Akşam stated last week that Arsenal had made contact with Galatasaray.

Galatasaray officials travelling to the UK just days after that report will leave fans confident that Arsenal are one of the clubs in discussions.

Arsenal want another right back this summer and may see Boey as ideal competition for Ben White.

Boey is still only 22 and has impressed this season, bagging one goal and four assists in 29 league games.

The former Rennes ace can also cover on the left side and his versatility – as well as his potential – may make him ideal for Arsenal.
