The man in question is agent Muzzi Ozcan, who was involved with Slaven Bilic’s appointment at West Ham United and has also worked with Gunners striker Olivier Giroud [via Metro Sport], posted a message on his official Twitter account on Wednesday afternoon to suggest Arsene Wenger is on the verge of another huge transfer.
Arsenal will be making the transfer of the season ! The deal isn’t to far from being complete ! Will update in the coming days ????

Following the arrival of Petr Cech from rivals Chelsea earlier in the month, many Gunners supporters will be speculating as to who a deal is in place for if this rumour is indeed correct.
Manchester United winger Angel Di Maria has emerged as a surprise transfer target for the North London outfit [via Telegraph Sport] and could well be the mystery player.
Meanwhile Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has also been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium [via Metro Sport] and as Wenger is a known admirer of his French compatriot, it wouldn’t be too much of a surprise if the 27-year-old is the big signing.
However, there has to be a note of caution with Ozcan as he claimed on July 6 that United striker Robin van Persie would become a Fenerbahce player but as of yet that transfer has not happened.
