Arsenal are closing in on the £7million signing of Matteo Guendouzi, according to reports in France. The Gunners have agreed a fee with Ligue 2 club Lorient for Guendouzi, who will be Unai Emery’s fourth signing of the summer. Guendouzi is still only 19, but came through Paris Saint-Germain’s youth ranks before switching to Lorient in 2014.
RMC Sport claim the deal is almost done and Guendouzi will fly into London on Monday to undergo a medical. An announcement could be made on Monday, but the deal should go through at some stage this week. Guendouzi has already come to terms with Arsenal and is set to sign a five-year deal.
