Arsenal remain locked in talks with Malaga over a fee for Santi Cazorla.
The Mirror says the Gunners are hopeful of completing a £20m deal for Malaga forward Cazorla, who is keen to move to the Emirates.
The 27-year-old Spain international will be offered a four-year contract worth £70,000-a-week once an agreement is reached with his club, Malaga.
However, the move is being held up by financial problems and a legal row at the La Liga side.
