Arsenal could be set to announce the signing of Gabriel Magalhaes.
Many Gunners fans have been desperately waiting for the club to confirm the arrival of the centre-back after it emerged they had beaten the likes of Manchester United and Napoli to his signature.
A £25m fee has been agreed for the Brazilian defender, who has reportedly completed his medical, and fans are now waiting to see him unveiled as Mikel Arteta's second first-team signing in the summer transfer window.
And they may not have to wait too much longer.
A post on Arsenal’s official Facebook page appears to offer Gunners fans that confirmation of the deal is coming very soon.
They wrote: "Willian x David Luiz x _” before adding “I’m not sure I can talk about it yet… Let’s call him!"

But what squad number could Gabriel take at the Emirates Stadium?
Since breaking into the first-team picture at Lille, Gabriel has worn number 4 and 14 on the back of his shirt. At Arsenal, the incumbent no. 4 is William Saliba, and the Frenchman is set for a key role under Arteta this season.
Furthermore, the no.14 is currently taken by captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, which means the 22-year-old will have to pick another squad number.
So which of those other aforementioned squad numbers will be available to Gabriel once his transfer is finally announced?
Below we take a look to see what numbers are currently free in north London.
No.6
The departure of captain Laurent Koscielny to Bordeaux last summer means that the number 6 shirt is now available to any potential new signings.
No.8
Was taken by Dani Ceballos, but has become available after the Spaniard returned to Real Madrid.
There is talk of him coming back for another loan spell and would probably regain the no.8.
No.13
David Ospina left the club after making the permanent switch to loan club Napoli last summer.
No.18
One of two shirt numbers Nacho Monreal had at the Emirates, but he departed for Real Sociedad last summer with the Gunners well-stocked for options at left-back in Sead Kolasinac and Kieran Tierney.
No.27
With Konstantinos Mavropanos out on a season-long loan deal, his no.27 is currently vacant.
