Mikel Arteta is closing in on his first summer signing since becoming Arsenal head coach with Layvin Kurzawa reportedly set to finalise a free transfer to the club at the end of the campaign.
Arsenal expressed interest in the PSG defender in January but the French champions were unwilling to sell him without finding a replacement.
However, the gunners have reportedly reignited their interest in the full-back, who has played 87 Ligue 1 games for PSG in five years in Paris.
According to reports, the 27-year-old has penned a five-year deal with Arsenal, who will announce the signing when the window finally opens after the coronavirus crisis.
Arsenal had to fend off interest to sign the Frenchman, with Barca also among a host of European teams who wanted to sign the left-back.
Juventus were also in the running for the France international in January and looked to have agreed a deal before it collapsed.

Arteta is keen to add an experienced left-back to his squad, with Kieran Tierney hamstrung by injury throughout his first campaign at the club and Kolasinac also suffering from a host of setbacks.
Kurzawa, who has won three titles with PSG, has been a bit-part player for Thomas Tuchel this season but has still made 23 appearances for the club.
