Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Fiorentina's Stevan Jovetic, with his agent reportedly in London negotiating a £24.5million deal.
.
The Montenegrin forward has been tracked by the Gunners for well over a year, and now it appears the Viola are finally ready to cash in on their prized asset after narrowly missing out on Champions League qualification.
.
Jovetic's agent, Fali Ramadani, is thrashing out terms with Arsenal in London after an offer was lodged, according to Italian media group Mediaset, and will report back to the 23-year-old with the Gunners' proposal.
.
Serie A champions Juventus are also keen on the forward, but it's understood Fiorentina would rather sell to Arsenal rather than risk seeing Jovetic become a star in Turin.
.
Jovetic himself, has previously welcomed the interest from Arsene Wenger's side, while Juve recently admitted they were concentrating on a move for either Carlos Tevez or Gonzalo Higuain, making Emirates Stadium the Viola man's most likely destination this summer.
Let's just hope the rumour we are hearing about Arsene Wenger wanting to spend big this time around is true.
