Barcelona has reportedly accepted a 32 million-pound bid for their striker Alexis Sanchez giving Arsenal the green light to complete their move for the Chilean.
Arsenal has reportedly been trying to push through a deal for the forward for the past two months, but the club has now seemingly settled on a payment plan for Sanchez.
According to Metro.co.uk, Arsenal would hold further talks with Sanchez's people in the next 48-hours ahead of wrapping up a deal.
However, any formal announcement is likely to be delayed until Barca complete their own move for Liverpool's Luis Suarez, who has been banned given a four month ban from all footballing activity by FIFA for his World Cup bite shame.
Liverpool hoped to include Sanchez as part of the Suarez deal, but the striker is favouring a move to Arsenal, with his agent recently following the club and some of their stars on Twitter, the report added.
