Striker Dortmund Borussia Pierre-Emerick Obama is close to joining the "Gunners".

Negotiations on the transfer of the Gabonese striker between Arsenal and Borussia last for the last few weeks.

Previously reported that the Dortmund will be ready to let go of their player, if the London club will meet their financial requirements. It seems that it all the same happened.

As reported by the BBC, Arsenal and Borussia agreed on Obama's transfer for 60 million pounds. According to the publication, the player will join the "Gunners" as soon as the "bumblebees" find him a suitable replacement.

One of the forwards that can replace the Gabonese as part of Dortmund is Cologne striker Anthony Modest.
