Thomas Lemar will join Arsenal this summer.
That is according to Italian football journalist Emanuele Giulianelli.
He says Monaco are waiting to sign a replacement before letting Lemar, 21, head to north London.
Giulianelli tweeted: “To all the Arsenal supporters asking me about Lemar I can answer: don't worry, he will join the Gunners.”
When asked whether the deal was 100 per cent agreed, he replied: “Done, but Monaco want to have a substitute first.”
Arsene Wenger is desperate to land France star this summer.
The Gunners boss has also confirmed he's keen to remain busy in the transfer market in the coming weeks.
"What’s next is to remain active," Wenger said on Arsenal’s website. "Not a lot [has] happened.
"I believe there are actually two ways to improve the team. First of all to improve the quality of what we do in training to improve the squad and improve the players we have, and secondly to bring more top-level players in.
"The difficulty is to bring top-level players in because you pay a huge amount of money for very normal players at the moment.
"As well, all the big clubs are chasing the same players and that provokes huge inflation. Maybe this will be the first time we [football clubs] pay over £200m, maybe over £300m with Neymar and around £200m with Mbappe.
"So there is a huge inflation. But we are active, we are working hard and I think we have done well with Kolasinac, we have done well with Lacazette and we are continuing to work.”
Manchester City are ready to break the bank for Alexis Sanchez.
The Arsenal talisman has been heavily linked with an Emirates exit this summer.
City, Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich are all chasing the Chile international this summer.
And according to the Daily Mail, Pep Guardiola is ready to offer Sanchez £320,000-a-week to join City.
They say the former Barcelona boss is willing to make Sanchez City's top earner.
The attacker's wages would also be topped up by performance-related bonuses and image rights, which could take his earnings to a staggering £400,000-a-week.
