Joao Pedro slapped with £70m price tag as Arsenal consider enter transfer race

Brighton has put a whopping £ 70 million price tag on striker Joao Pedro.

In anticipation of the last day of Brighton in Tottenham, Boss Hurzeler offered an update about Pedro's situation.

The 32-year-old said: “With Joao we had a small problem in training, a type that is not unusual at all football clubs from time to time.

“We dealt with it internally and the case is closed.

“Joao is an incredible football player, he is a match winner for us and he is a great player and that is why we have invested in him.

“But there are principles, there are values ​​that are non-considerable that count for everyone. I don't compromise.

“I am sure that Joao is still a young player, there is still a lot of potential where he will grow.

“I am sure he will learn from this and will come back stronger next season.

“I am really looking forward to looking up and revived and new life in our team. That is all I would say this.

“The only thing is how we deal with it as a football club, how we deal with it as a team.”

In the meantime, the Albion Boss will offer a new one -year -old deal to experienced midfielder James Milner.

The 39-year-old revealed this week that he had feared that he would no longer run after the operation.

He is 16 league matches of the cut of Gareth Barry's pretext record of 653 competitions.
