Arsenal yet to finalise deal for Dortmund defender Sokratis

The Gunners are hoping to push through a summer transfer for the experienced Greece international, but no agreement has been completed as yet

Arsenal are yet to finalise a deal for Sokratis Papastathopoulos, although Borussia Dortmund ‘s sporting director Michael Zorc is expecting a transfer to go through.

Goal confirmed in late May that the Greece international defender had emerged as a top target for new Gunners boss Unai Emery.

Arsenal’s head of recruitment, Sven Mislintat, has worked with the 30-year-old before in Germany and believes he would be a useful addition at Emirates Stadium.
