Arsenal have reportedly agreed a deal with Barcelona to bring their young Spanish star Munir El-Haddadi to the club for only £9.4 million, as reported by the Daily Express.
The young talent has emerged fully on to the scene this season, being called up for the Spanish national side to replace Diego Costa after the Chelsea star was forced to withdraw from the squad.
There is a suggestion that the Gunners have activated the release clause in Munir’s contract, and the deal will be confirmed in January.
With a small release clause for the player written into his contract, he has the opportunity to depart if he so chooses, given the lack of money a club would have to pay out for his services.
In an attempt to convince him to stay, Barca have involved the 19-year-old thus far this season, with him scoring against Elche.
However, with Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi ahead of him, it’s unlikely that he will play much this season, and Arsene Wenger now has an opportunity to sign a potential star for far less than his true value.
