Eberechi Eze's £60million move from Crystal Palace to Arsenal is reportedly set to take place this weekend.
The player will become the London club's seventh addition in the current transfer window after Arsenal managed to snatch him from Tottenham.
The final details of a deal for the 27-year-old, which would take the club's overall spending above the £250m mark, are close to being agreed.
Talks over Eze's sensational move to the Emirates have intensified this week following Kai Havertz's knee injury.
The Germany international appeared on the pitch in the second half of the 1-0 win over Manchester United but missed the first team's open training session at the Emirates on Wednesday.

It is unclear how long Havertz will be out of action, with his injury requiring clarification. However, the rush to sign Eze shows Arsenal are taking no chances. Head coach Mikel Arteta, with the support of technical director Edu, is hard at work building a squad capable of winning the Premier League for the first time in 22 years.
Eze will now join a group of new signings including striker Victor Diokeres (£55m), defender Christian Mosquera (£13m), midfielder Martin Zubimendi (£60m), goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5m), midfielder Christian Norgaard (£10m) and forward Noni Madueke (£48.5m).
Mikel Arteta will hold a press conference at the Gunners' training ground on Friday ahead of their home game against Leeds on Saturday evening – their second league game.
