Deal close: Arsenal could confirm transfer in the next 24 hours

According to De Telegraaf, Arsene Wenger will decide on Gedion Zelalem’s future within the next 24 hours. 

Zelalem had been linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund earlier this month but it now seems a loan move to Dutch side, VVV-Venlo for the rest of the season is the more likely route. 

Zelalem did have a successful loan spell at Rangers last season and was expected to finally break into the first-team this season. Instead, he has only featured twice for the Gunners, both times in their unsuccessful EFL Cup campaign. 

The 19-year-old is highly regarded by the club but it seems another loan move could be on the cards, which, if confirmed will see Arsenal send another player to Holland.
