Arsenal are seeing progress in their talks to sign Southampton starlet Romeo Lavia.
The talented teenager is one of the bright spots within the Saints squad, despite relegation last term.
With the 19-year-old wanted by a host of Premier League sides, Arsenal have to move quickly.
Per Fabrizio Romano, a deal for Lavia could be done even if Arsenal sign Declan Rice.
One issue for Arsenal is that Manchester City may have a buy back clause to secure Lavia again.
Chelsea are also monitoring the situation and may come in with a big offer.
