Arsenal are reportedly on the verge of securing defender Gary Cahill's signature.
The England international has been linked with a handful of Barclays Premier League clus in recent weeks, with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City both vying for the Bolton Wanderers player's signature.
However, the Evening Standard reports that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is on the verge of securing the player's signature, with both Cahill and Lille striker Gervinho set to pen deals at the Emirates this week.
It's claimed that talks are in advanced stages between both parties in relation to the Cahill transfer, with Arsenal set to activate the player's £17 million release clause or offer a player-plus-cash deal.
A defender is thought to be high on the Gunners' agenda this summer, with Wenger keen to add reinforcements in the position following last season's injury debacle at Arsenal.
The French manager revealed in May that he would be looking to spend in the transfer winddow, providing the 'right' player becomes available to Arsenal, and Cahill appears to fit the bill for the north Londoners.
Finally! Arsene Wenger actually splashing some cash on good players! A tall centre back must have been top of the gaffer's wishlist and should either Cahill or Blackburn's Christopher Samba join the gunners, the manager will have his new rock at the back. I personally rate Cahill very highly but would much rather have Samba in my team. He's just a monster and must be pretty scary to play against. Both player's should be playing at a higher level and hopefully Arsenal can bring one in.
