Arsenal are edging closer to landing Sporting CP midfielder William Carvalho.

The Mail on Sunday says Arsenal are set to finally land defensive midfielder Carvalho from Sporting.

It has been reported in Portugal that the club will offload Carvalho, a long term target for the Gunners, for a fee of around £20m if they can also have Costa Rican Joel Campbell who is currently on load at Villarreal.

Carvalho has also been linked with Manchester United this season.
