French teenager Matteo Guendouzi has liked a post on Twitter claiming he has completed a £7million move from Lorient to the Emirates.
Reports emerged on Sunday that the Gunners have agreed a fee with Ligue 2 side Lorient for the 19-year-old, who has been earmarked as a potential star of the future.
Although Lucas Torreira is expected to be Arsenals last major first-team recruit this summer, Unai Emery has been keen to sign a young prospect after missing out on PSGs Yacine Adli.

Guendouzi has been targeted instead, and RMC Sport claim the deal is virtually done and the youngster will fly into London on Monday to undergo a medical and sign a contract.

And the teenager appears to have dropped a big hint of his own, having liked a twitter post showing a compilation of his best bits and which claims the deal to join Arsenal is already done – though he later unliked the post.
Guendouzi, who has been capped at youth levels for France, is expected to complete his move to Arsenal at the start of the week before taking part in the European Under-19 tournament in Finland.
He fell out with Lorient last season, initially after a dressing room fall out, before personal problems saw him lose his place in the side a second time.
Arsenal could be busy on Monday, with Torreira having flown straight in from Russia to London to undergo a medical at London Colney and pen personal terms.
