Who is Sacha Boey? Bayern Munich have £13m bid rejected for Arsenal and Man Utd transfer target

Arsenal are yet to make a signing in the January transfer window, but that could change as we head into the final days. The Gunners spent big in the summer and much like many other clubs, looking over their shoulders at FFP and PSR rulings, are cutting their cloth accordingly.

Sacha Boey is a 23-year-old French right-back who currently plays for Turkish club Galatasaray. At just 14, Boey joined the youth academy of Ligue 1 club Stade Rennais before making his senior debut on May 5, 2019 in a 2-2 draw with Toulouse.

After making minimal appearances at Rennes, Boey signed for Galatasaray in the summer of 2021 where he has since made 81 appearances.
