Arsenal on verge of sealing stunning £36m transfer deal for Brazil winger Everton Soares

ARSENAL are reportedly on the verge of signing Everton Soares in a stunning £36million swoop.

Marca claims the Gremio winger, 23, will shortly be confirmed as a Gunner following his incredible performances for Brazil at this summer’s Copa America.

Everton emerged as a top target for Arsenal after it emerged they could not meet Crystal Palace’s valuation for Wilfried Zaha.

Everton revealed he had received a lucrative offer from an unnamed club earlier this week.

And Arsenal doctors were said to have flown to Brazil to carry out a medical.

It was then confirmed by Everton’s wife that he has started to learn English.

And it now seems Unai Emery is finally set to get his hands on a top new winger despite missing out Champions League qualification.

The Gunners have so far signed just one player in young Brazilian Gabriel Martinelli.

But they remain keen on bringing in a number of new faces.

Arsenal have been linked with free agent Dani Alves following Stephan Lichtsteiner’s exit.

While a new centre-back will be needed if rebel Laurent Koscielny is allowed to depart.
