BBC journalist David Ornstein has revealed that the Gunners are now edging ever closer to completing the acquisition of another new player, ahead of the start of this summer’s pre-season fixtures.

Arsenal have significantly changed their habits in the transfer market this summer, following the departure of Arsene Wenger last month.

Emery secured the addition of Stephan Lichtsteiner not too long ago and he has now added another man to the list of new signings.

The club confirmed earlier this week that a deal had been agreed for Sokratis to move to the Emirates stadium from Borussia Dortmund.

And with that transfer now completed, the Gunners appear to be closing in on the deal to sign Lucas Torreira.

The 22-year-old has strongly been linked with a move to the Emirates stadium this summer and the transfer is now just around the corner.
