Anthony Koura is very close to agreeing a move to Arsenal from Ligue 2 side Nimes, according to France Football.
The strikers agents are said to be in advanced talks with Arsenal but Newcastle, Sunderland, Stoke City and Monaco have all held talks with the Frenchman’s representatives.
Talks are said to have moved quite quickly and are at an advanced stage already. Arsenal were said to have moved things quickly due to the other clubs showing stern interest.
The young centre forward is on the sidelines at the minute with a back injury. Due to return to fitness next month the player still has time to increase his seasons goal tally which currently sits at nine goals.
Arsenal are believed to be after a striker with their efforts coming to nothing last summer. The young Nimes centre forward would rival the likes of Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck for a place in the starting XI.
