Arsenal are moving for St Etienne goalkeeper Stephan Ruffier.
But! says Ruffier, 27, has been given until the 30th June to complete a switch by his club.
St Etienne are thought to be open to selling the player they signed from Monaco in 2011 as long as the deal goes through by the end of June, providing them with a long enough window to secure a replacement.
And that could suit Arsenal, as they seek to nip in and secure his signature before the World Cup gets underway.
