Watts reports that the former Manchester City defender will initially join the Gunners on loan with a view to a permanent deal in the summer.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta should know Mari well as the pair worked together at Man City and now it looks like they’ll soon be reunited at the Emirates.
These Arsenal fans all took to social media to react to the news that Mari is about to make a move to their club and it’s fair to say that they were all very happy with the report from Watts.
He's here…and he's PERFECT
😍😍😍😍😍

Huge. Finally a Defender. Let the games begin. It will take him a while to settle in.
