Confirm Arsenal set to unveil Ansu Fati deal from Barcelona after Folarin Balogun set to become Arsenal’s all-time record sale with a move to Monaco...

Arsenal hold talks with Barcelona star’s agent, crucial transfer development could happen tomorrow.

Arsenal have reportedly held talks with the agent of Barcelona forward Ansu Fati, with key developments potentially coming tomorrow.

The Gunners have been in contact with Jorge Mendes to discuss the possibility of a deal, though it seems that Fati’s preference for now is to remain at the Nou Camp, according to Football Transfers.

This could be an issue for Arsenal, but the report notes that an important meeting is expected to take place tomorrow to discuss the Spain international’s future, with Barca likely to benefit from selling players due to Financial Fair Play issues.

The Catalan giants spent big on a number of top players last summer, and their financial problems are well documented, so that could mean there’s a need to offload Fati and others.

Arsenal already have decent options in attack, but they would surely benefit from bringing in Fati to give them more depth as they arguably lack cover for Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli if they get injured.

Fati may want to stay at Barcelona, but Arsenal would surely also be a tempting destination for him now after their impressive rise under Mikel Arteta.

Monaco close in on £40m swoop for Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun - with the USA star ONLY considering a move to the Ligue 1 club despite attracting interest from Premier League sides. 

Monaco are closing in on a £40million swoop for Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun.

As things stand, the USA international is only considering a move to the French side despite interest from other Premier League clubs.

Mail Sport reported on Wednesday that the Gunners were in talks with the Ligue 1 club amid an expectation that a formal offer would be made by the end of the week.

And the deal has progressed significantly in the last 24 hours with an agreement now virtually sealed. Some finer details of the deal still require finalising but the expectation is that Balogun will join Monaco.

The striker, who spent last a successful loan spell in Reims last season, has been training away from the first team for much of the summer and has been deemed surplus to requirements by Mikel Arteta. And he is now set for the Emirates exit door.
