Arsenal are confident of signing Riyad Mahrez from Leicester City.
According to Italian journalist Palmeri, Arsenal are nearing closer to Mahrez.
It is said talks are ongoing and proving positive, despite the Gunners' failed attempt to sign him last summer.
Palmeri posted to social media: "100%. Talks ongoing positively - again, after having attempted to sign Mahrez last year".
Leicester team-mate Jamie Vardy was also in their sights but neither made the move to the Emirates.
Mahrez, though, could now follow Alexandre Lacazette to Arsenal.
