Roma’s Director Walter Sabatini is in London for a few days to facilitate advanced negotiations with the Gunners. The Lille forward has already agreed personal terms in a four-year contract. The move will see him reunite with his old Lille boss Rudi Garcia.

Gervinho and Sabatini will fly to Boston pre-season training camp over the weekend to meet with Roma’s new American owners.

Meanwhile, Wenger also confirmed the reports that Gervinho is on the verge of an €8m transfer to Roma after Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Napoli in Emirates Cup.

Wenger revealed: “For Gervinho, we are at the moment close to an agreement with a club.”
