Arsenal are closing in on the £7million signing of Matteo Guendouzi, according to reports in France.

The Gunners have agreed a fee with Ligue 2 club Lorient for Guendouzi, who will be Unai Emery's fourth signing of the summer.

Guendouzi is still only 19, but came through Paris Saint-Germain's youth ranks before switching to Lorient in 2014.

RMC Sport claim the deal is almost done and Guendouzi will fly into London on Monday to undergo a medical.

An announcement could be made on Monday, but the deal should go through at some stage this week.

Guendouzi has already come to terms with Arsenal and is set to sign a five-year deal.

Lorient and Guendouzi were relegated from the top tier of French football in the 2016/17 season and then missed out on promotion last campaign.

Guendouzi made 21 appearances in total last season playing as a defensive midfielder and central midfielder.

Arsenal may be in for a busy period of transfer activity with the club also edging closer to the signing of Lucas Torreira.
