The super agent now has several clients at the club (including David Luiz!) and is making a lot of noise. Is he becoming a hindrance, asks Daniel Storey.

Been doing abit of reading on Kia Joorabchian, who 100% has Moshiri's ear after a few Athletic articles.
Just to point out David Luiz signed for Arsenal the same day we signed Iwobi from Arsenal!
'Joorabchian spent last summer urging Stan Kroenke to release finances to improve the squad. He may merely have been speaking as a supporter, but as someone who has recently brokered transfers with the club, there’s a good chance he will also benefit from any uptick in Arsenal’s transfer business.'
Is an interesting passage! Noting Arsenal also signed Cedric Soares in January (Joorabchian's client also).
'But while Luiz has become the great unifier of Premier League supporters in need of a little light relief, there is something a little more serious at play here. According to a recent report in
The Athletic, the defender’s 12-month Arsenal contract will cost the club £24m.
An £8m transfer bargain loses its shine when the wages and intermediaries’ fees total £16m. Remember to look underneath the pasta, to borrow Alex Ferguson’s famous phrase.'
So Arsenal had to fork out about £24m on Luiz on the 8th August 2019, the same day we paid Arsenal about £28million for Alex Iwobi.
Smells very fishy that! Joorabchian touts Luiz to Arsenal, Arsenal can't afford him, Joorabchian recomends Iwobi to Moshiri and tells him he's availible, we sign Iwobi, Arsenal sign Joorabchian's client Luiz, Joorachian gets a huge fee!
Always had reservations on why we paid so much for Iwobi, especially with Moshiri's past links to Arsenal, but surely that explains it!
