Arsenal are closing on a deal for Galatasaray fullback Sacha Boey.
The Gunners are in the market for a new fullback signing this summer.
And their search has led to Boey, who is expected to leave Gala at the end of the season.
Aksam says Arsenal now lead the race for the France U21 international.
Gala will seek to sell Boey for around 10m.
