Antonio Sanabria one step closer to Arsenal move?

Antonio Sanabria is on the verge of signing for Arsenal after he told Barcelona that he wanted to leave the club, according to a report.

The striker, 17, who currently plays in the Barcelona B team, has previously been linked with a move to the Gunners, as well as Italian giants Roma.

However, a report in The Mirror quotes Sanabria's agent, Raul Verdu, as saying that the striker is in talks with the Premier League leaders and will look to complete a move soon.

"Our contacts with Arsenal are advanced and I expect a solution in the next week," Verdu said.

The newspaper goes on to add that Sanabria will meet with the club sometime in the next week to finalise the deal.
