Arsenal are close to agreeing a deal with Blackburn Rovers for the transfer of Chris Samba, according to the Daily Express.
The giant defender has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium since January, and has made it known he is frustrated with the lack of progress made by new owners Venky’s Group at Ewood Park.
The Express claim that all details of the move have been concluded except for the fee, but the two clubs are getting closer in their negotiations.
Despite the imminent announcement of the twin defensive reinforcements of Per Mertesacker and Andre Santos from Werder Bremen and Fenerbahce respectively, a deal for Samba is expected to be concluded before the end of the day.
