After being heavily linked with Gonzalo Higuain – only for the deal never to materialise – Arsenal now seem to be closing in on Mauro Icardi. Talks with Inter Milan have reportedly gathered pace and the north London club are expected to make an offer worth around €50m in the next couple of days, according to the Telegraph.
Icardi’s agent, his wife Wanda Nara, had confirmed earlier in the week that Arsenal are one of the many clubs trying to sign the Argentine, while Sky Italia suggested that a meeting between the two clubs had been arranged for next week.
Arsenal are close to completing the signing of Bolton Wanderers' Rob Holding. The club are expected to finalise the transfer in the coming days which will see the 20-year-old defender move to the Emirates in a deal worth around £2m. The youngster is believed to have travelled down to London on Monday night and it’s believed the final touches are now being added to the deal.
Hopes of signing Barcelona’s Arda Turan look to have been dashed after the player’s agent revealed that the Turkey international is willing to fight for his place at the Nou Camp.
Despite being linked with a move away from the Catalonian capital after struggling to make an impact at Barca, the 29-year-old is keen to stay put with the Spanish Champions.
"The interest [in Arda] is normal but the rumours saying he is leaving Barcelona are false, he is happy at the club," the agent, Ahmet Bulut said.
