Rumour: Arsenal close to signing Luiz Gustavo from Bayern Munich

Luiz Gustavo

Reports emerging from England recently seem to suggest that Bayern Munich midfielder Luiz Gustavo is close to completing a move to the Emirates, which would make him the club’s second signing of the summer.

The bid from Arsenal is believed to be around the region of 14 million pounds.

The Metro reported yesterday that the Bavarian giants have accepted Arsenal’s bid for the holding midfielder and the player is due in London for crunch talks sometime soon.

Wenger remained coy on the matter when asked about the situation at the post match press conference at Helsinki, but the reports will give Arsenal fans all around major hope.

If Arsenal do manage to wrap up the singing of the midfielder, it would be a good step forward since the Gunners do lack the presence of an out and out enforcer in midfield.

Yes, Arteta is there, but he is more about the attacking side of things rather than the defending side.

Arsenal fans all around the world will hope that this deal will come through, and Arsenal can finally unveil a major singing this transfer window.
