Deal Done! Arsenal finalizing the deal for PSG star
Arsenal have been in contact with the left back in recent days as Mikel Arteta's side club look to strike a cheap deal for the defender.
And according to France Football, The 27 year old French international will arrive at the Emirates in the summer after agreeing a five-year contract with the London club.
His current contract with PSG expires in the summer meaning he will arrive on a free transfer at the Emirates stadium.
The speedster left-back will provide cover for summer signing Kieran Tierney and Sead Kolasinac who have both suffered with injury problems this term,with the latter producing inconsistent performance.
The North Londoners technical director Edu’s close relationship with the player’s agent Kia Joorabchian is said to have played a part in agreeing a deal.
Other reports in France suggested PSG had been willing to sell the 27-year-old this month but Arsenal would need to pay around £6m.
And with finances tight at the Emirates due to the Corona virus pandemic, it seems that Arsenal have opted for the cheaper option of waiting until the summer.
Mikel Arteta's side already have another French player arriving at the end of the season having previously agreed a deal with St-Etienne for the transfer of William Saliba.
One defensive player who could be on his way out of the club this month is Shkodran Mustafi.
The Valencia man has come in for plenty of criticism, alongside David Luiz and Sokratis, for errors this season and recently opened up about the impact of abuse he receives on social media from fans.
Former Arsenal player Martin Keown backed Arsenal’s decision to share Mustafi’s honest feelings and hopes it will see him back fighting.
