IF FORMER Germany star Lothar Matthaus is to be believed, Arsenal have struck a deal with Nurnberg for young striker Josip Drmic. Not only that but the playmaker-turned-pundit claims Drmic's missus is in London searching for an apartment with the rougher end of the Holloway Road probably not on her itinerary.

The 21-year-old Drmic has long been linked with a move to the Emirates and the Daily Star says that a summer move "has been agreed", although no transfer fee was mentioned. The Swiss sharpshooter has scored 16 goals in 27 appearances in the Bundesliga this season and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants Drmic to lead the Gunners' attack next season.
