Arsenal are set to sign Yacine Adli from Paris Saint-Germain.
The France youth international has knocked back PSG's offer in favour of joining the Gunners.
Unai Emery has captured the 17-year-old on a three-year deal, with the option of a further two years, according to Paris United.
An attacking midfielder with an imposing frame, Adli has featured for Les Bleus at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-18 level, scoring 13 times over 33 caps.

Unai Emery's project is believed to have convinced Adli, with the Spaniard having a close look at the talent during his time in the French capital.
PSG reportedly made a bigger financial offer to the player, but Adli is not convinced by the project of the club.

The difficulty in breaking through into the first team with such an array of stars at the disposal of Thomas Tuchel is thought to have played a part in his decision.
Adli has received comparisons with Javier Pastore, due to his exceptional technical ability, a two-footed game and impressive physicality for his age.
