AshmarkOLakunle gathered that Arsenal has agreed to a £42.4m deal
with Real Madrid to sign Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil.
The 24-year-old has agreed personal terms but must undergo a medical before
Arsenal can complete what would be a club record signing.
Ozil is on international duty and the medical will take place in Germany.
The Gunners have failed in high-profile attempts to sign Liverpool striker
Luis Suarez and Gonzalo Higuain, another Real Madrid player, this summer.
But they are close to capturing Ozil after Gareth Bale's world-record £85.3m
switch from Tottenham to Real triggered further deals on the final day of the
transfer window.
Ozil joined Real from Werder Bremen three years ago for a fee believed to be
about £12.4m and has played 155 times for the club.
