Arsenal Transfer News: Free agreed for forward, PSG midfielder prime target for Wenger

Arsenal have agreed a fee to sign Dynamo striker Aleksandr Kokorin. Hang on, that is only a part of the story. Frankly, I have never seen / heard a deal like this before.

Usually what happens is when a club bids for a player – the other club accepts / rejects and the player sign a deal (transfer go through) / do not sign. But here is a type of deal, where the fee has been supposedly agreed, but the club will only sign the player if there is an injury crisis.

Confused? So am I.
