Arsenal are reported to have reached a £55m agreement in principle with Borussia Dortmund to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
It is understood completion of the transfer is subject to Dortmund securing a replacement. The Gunners had a bid in excess of £50m rejected last week, with Dortmund's sporting director Michael Zorc stating they would only let the 28-year-old go if their demands were met.
Should he arrive at the Emirates before tomorrow's deadline Arsenal will be willing to let Olivier Giroud leave the club, with Chelsea very interested in the France striker.
However Chelsea don't like Arsenal's asking prize.
