Welsh teenage sensation Aaron Ramsey is expected to become Arsene Wenger's first summer signing, writes Jem Maidment.
Manchester United and Everton have both made bids for the Cardiff City winger, who has scored twice in 22 appearances for the Bluebirds.
But despite strong rumours he was Old Trafford-bound, the Caerphilly-born attacker opted for The Emirates instead.
Wenger clinched the deal, which is worth £5m, when he met Ramsey and his parents in Switzerland at the weekend.
"We wish him the best of luck in the top-flight," said a statement from Cardiff.
Ramsey will shortly have a medical before the deal is completed.
