Sokratis Papastathopoulos
Sokratis Papastathopoulos is closing in on a move to Arsenal ,
claims his father, with the Borussia Dortmund defender having snubbed
Manchester United to link up with the Gunners.
Goal confirmed reports in late May which suggested a deal was almost done for the Greece international .
He has now travelled to England to put the finishing touches to a
summer transfer, with the 29-year-old poised to become the first
addition of the Unai Emery era at Arsenal.
Sokratis has been a long-standing target for the Gunners and they
could be considered to have pulled off quite a coup in securing his
signature after interest was shown from a Premier League rival.
