Arsenal supporters should brace themselves for a transfer announcement in the coming hours, if reports are to be true.
The January window has been open for just over three weeks and there has been plenty of players linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, but as of yet no new faces have arrived.
An season ending injury to Calum Chambers has forced the Gunners to look for a central defender which has prompted links to the likes of Jerome Boateng, Dayot Upamecano and John Stones.
Mykola Matviyenko became the latest name on Arsenal's radar this week and football.london revealed that there is interest in the Shakhtar Donetsk, and a loan deal was being explored.
However, the Ukraine international isn't the player who is reportedly close to becoming the north London outfit's first signing of the January transfer window.
Instead that honour is set to fall on Flamengo centre-back Pablo Mari.
According to reports in Brazil, the 26-year-old has already bid farewell to his teammates and coaching staff at the Maracanã Stadium and is on his way to London to complete a £7.5m transfer.
Just to excite Gunners fans even more, Mari has been 'spotted' at an airport with the club's Technical Director Edu which would suggest the deal is close to completion.
Thanks to @MrArsenicTM on Twitter, there's an image of Edu with the Spaniard.
Head coach Mikel Arteta did say during his pre-Bournemouth press conference on Friday afternoon that he would only enter the market to sign players he was confident would improve the team.
"I'm not going to be discussing any transfer links publicly," Arteta said in his pre-match press conference. "It's something we are trying to do internally and when we have news we will communicate with you guys."
"We are looking at different positions, obviously since I joined we lost Calum [Chambers] and we had other circumstances and injuries in that position so it's true that at the back we have been short.
"There are other positions as well, depending on what happens in the market that we might need to assess."
Then when asked if he's confident of getting business done before deadline day, Arteta insisted he will only dip into the market for quality players.
"At the moment I am 50/50 because this transfer [window] is very complicated and I only want to bring somebody in if I'm convinced he can really improve the level that we have."
