Sokratis Papastathopoulos will reportedly be confirmed as an Arsenal player later today.
According to reports from the Daily Star, as cited on the London Evening Standard, the Dortmund defender is set to be announced as Unai Emery’s latest signing for the club.
Sokratis has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League for some time, but the German side have been delaying the deal.
Reports in Germany claimed that Bundesliga outfit wanted to wait until July began as it would be the new financial year at the start of the month.
A deal between the two clubs has been agreed for some time, but the official confirmation has been delayed.
The Greek defender will become the latest player to have played for Dortmund and made the move to Arsenal.
He follows Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who joined from Manchester United last season after impressing during his time in the Bundesliga.
