Yannick Carrasco agrees to join Arsenal

Arsenal are among one of the top clubs in Europe that are hoping to give themselves a facelift by investing wisely this summer. The Gunners are on the lookout for wingers and are now reportedly well on their way to signing Yannick Carrasco from Dalian Yifang.

Unai Emery and co. wanted to sign the Belgian international in January. However, they could not get the transfer over the line in January and are now back in the hunt and all ready to welcome him to the Emirates.

As per Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, personal terms have been agreed between Yannick Carrasco and Arsenal. The Gunners have now entered into negotiations with Dalian Yifang as they attempt to agree to a fee for the transfer to go over the line.

There are a few reports that claim that Arsenal wanted a season-long loan deal. However, the Chinese side are keen on a permanent one and that's how it will have to be if the Gunners are to sign the winger up this summer.
