Arsenal are finalising a deal for Bologna fullback Aaron Hickey this weekend, it has been revealed.

CalcioNapoli24 says Bologna sporting director Riccardo Bigon is in London this weekend for negotiations with the Gunners.

The transfer will be worth in the region of €20-25m, depending on various performance-related bonuses.

Hickey will turn 20 next month and was snapped up from Hearts for €1.7m in September 2020.
