Vlad Dragomir is expected to leave Arsenal.
The midfielder was released by the Gunners at the end of last month.
AS Monaco are keen and ready to ferry Dragomir away from London, despite his agent saying they were still in contact with the Gunners.
At Monaco, former Chelsea technical chief Michael Emenalo is now in charge and is well aware of Dragomir.
The midfielder scored six goals in 20 games for the U23s last season.
