Arsenal supporter 'works out the flight Pablo Mari is on' to finalise £7.5m transfer

Pablo Mari is on his way into London.

That's according to reports in Brazil meaning Arsenal supporters are getting very excited about the prospect of Mikel Arteta finally bolstering his defensive options with six days left of the January transfer window.

The Flamengo centre-back is looking like the chosen one by the Gunners amid links to the likes of Jerome Boateng, John Stones and Mykola Matviyenko among plenty others this month.

A deal worth a reported £7.5m is reportedly close to completion with the 26-year-old being spotted with Arsenal technical director Edu at an airport on Friday night ahead of the move.

All signs are pointing towards Mari becoming the Gunners' first signing of the new decade.

As a result, some Arsenal fans have spent the last few hours attempting to track his flight into London.

Of course there is no concrete way of knowing Mari's flight details.

But that didn't stop fans doing a bit of research in the hope of following his journey from Brazil to London Colney.

One fan in particular worked out Mari is on a British Airways flight which is due to land in the UK at around 12pm this afternoon (Saturday).

Naturally this brought about some funny responses.
