Unai Emery set to be the new manager for Arsenal to succeed Arsene Wenger.
The former Paris St Germain coach left the club at the end of the season having led them to a domestic treble.
The 46-year-old was previously the manager at Sevilla, who he lead to three Europa League triumphs.
According to reports, the recruitment process was led by Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis, head of football relations Raul Sanllehi and head of recruitment Sven Mislintat and that an announcement and a news conference is expected later this week.
Sources have it that the club have conducted a thorough recruitment process as they look to replace Wenger. Mikel Arteta had been considered as the favourite for the past week or so.
Emery left PSG when his contract expired at the end of this season.
While he had helped them continue their domestic dominance, his departure was assured when they failed to make significant headway in the Champions League for the second successive campaign.
