Arsenal are set to sign Colombian sensation Juan Fernando Quintero with the Porto player reportedly set to fly to London to complete the transfer.

The Gunners were rumoured to have agreed a £15.8million fee with Porto earlier this week for Quintero, with suggestions in Portugal that a deal was close.

And now leading journalist Diego Rueda is one of a number of respected sources saying the 21-year-old is heading to north London.

Rueda says the player has trained for the final time with Porto and will arrive on Monday to complete the switch.
