Arsenal are currently 7 points clear, above Manchester City in the Premier League and this transfer will only bolster Arsenal’s attacking options.

With Gunners striker Gabriel Jesus sidelined, this gives a great opportunity for the 21-year-old Ukranian to slot straight into the team under Mikel Arteta.

The deal looks like it’s to be completed by tomorrow.
