Arsenal have agreed a £67.5m deal with Crystal Palace for Eberechi Eze, with the England international expected to have a medical as soon as Friday.
They will pay a guaranteed £60m plus £7.5m in add-ons for the forward.
He had a £68m release clause, which expired on Friday.
Personal terms are now close to being totally agreed.
Sky Sports News stated that he is still expected to be in the squad for Crystal Palace’s Conference League game tonight and wants to say his goodbyes to the fans.
Arsenal re-ignited their pursuit of Eze on Wednesday.
Kai Havertz’s injury was a contributory factor – as well as the feeling sales will be made before the end of the window.
Significantly a lot of the work Arsenal did in the deal was carried out in June when they explored the conditions of a deal for Eze.
