Arsenal are close to confirming the "transfer of the season," according to football agent Muzzi Ozcan.
Ozcan's comment comes amid speculation the Gunners are interested in signing Karim Benzema from Real Madrid, a player who could be forced out of the Bernabeu if Los Blancos sign Manchester City's Sergio Aguero, according to Le10Sport (h/t Jamie Anderson of the Daily Star).
He tweeted:
