Arsenal is on the verge of concluding an agreement with Celtic defender Kieran Tierney after a breakthrough in talks with the Bhoys.
The Gunners have had two offers rejected by the Scottish giants this summer, seeking about £ 30 million for the Scottish international.
The Celtic were unhappy with the number of "unworkable" additions included in Arsenal's offerings for Tierney, but Sky Sports says the two clubs made significant progress in the last round of negotiations.
A third nomination has not yet been submitted, but it is understood that the two clubs are closer to an agreement that "satisfies" both parties.
Capturing Tierney would be a blow for the Gunners, who have intensified their transfer activities over the past week.
William Saliba and Dani Ceballos both signed on Thursday, while many reports on Friday night said the Gunners had agreed to a contract for a club record for Lille's Nicolas Pepe star.

Lille has accepted four club offers for Pepe, but Arsenal would have offered better personal conditions to the Ivorian international than their rivals.
Arsenal will face Lyon in the Emirates on Sunday in the first of his last three pre-season matches before opening his Premier League campaign against Newcastle in a fortnight.
