Lokonga, 21, has already agreed personal terms with the Gunners over a move to London but Arsenal have had two bids rejected by the Belgian club for the coveted midfielder, who is attracting interest from Spain. However, Sky Sports News claim a deal is now close to being finalised for a final fee of around £17m.

Arteta is interested in signing Wolves ace Ruben Neves, with the Portugal international valued at around £35m by the Midlands club.
