Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Leandro Trossard. Edu agreed a fee of £21million plus add-ons with Brighton for the 28-year-old on Thursday and a deal could be announced as soon as today.
The Belgian will arrive at the Emirates Stadium on a deal until 2027 with the option to extend by a further year, football.london understands. Arsenal are thought to be pushing hard to ensure that the player is available for Sunday's clash with Manchester United, although the deal would have to be completed by 12pm on Friday for that to be the case.
Whether the paperwork will be completed in time remains to be seen at this stage, but Trossard has reportedly been at London Colney this morning (Friday) and has already completed his medical, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
