Riyad Mahrez to Arsenal is apparently all but a done deal, according to reports in Italy.

The 2015-16 PFA Player of the Year is said to want to move on after the comedown from winning the Premier League last season.

The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for the 26-year-old star, but Calciomercato.it claim both parties have come to an agreement.

The Italian outlet says the move will be announced "soon" after Arsene Wenger got the "OK of Leicester and the French-Algerian playmaker".

This claim follows reports that Mahrez has been offered a four-year deal by the Gunners after he conceded that a move to Barcelona wouldn't happen.

A fee of £35million has been connected with any move for Mahrez.
