The fourth deal in line for completion will see Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Lars Bender move to Arsenal this summer with a fee of around £22m.
The 25 year old narrowly missed out on a spot in Joachim Low’s 2014 World Cup squad but is nonetheless considered one of the best central midfielders in the Bundesliga.
Bender is considered a long term replacement for veteran Mikel Arteta, with the Spaniard having just a year to run on a contract that may well not be up for renewal after a fairly average campaign last term.
The rangy midfielder will be handed a significant pay-rise and further motivation to complete a move to the Premier League side may well be derived from the fact that national team colleagues Mesut Ozil, Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski are present in Wenger’s Arsenal squad.
Bender moved to the BayArena back in 2009 and is thought to be ready for a fresh challenge.
