Borussia Dortmund chief scout Sven Mislintat is expected to quit for Arsenal in the coming days.
BILD says Arsenal's contract is simply too good for the 45 year-old to refuse.
Arsenal have offered a deal worth €1.8m-a-year - which is well beyond what BVB are willing to pay Mislintat to stay.
Mislintat only signed a new deal to 2021 with BVB last summer, which included a promotion, however Arsenal are happy to pay compensation to bring him to London.
The Gunners will cough up €2m for BVB to release Mislintat from his contract.
