ARSENAL fans are convinced their club are on the verge of signing Everton Soares after Gabriel Martinelli followed him on Instagram.
Unai Emery’s side are set to make a £36million swoop for the Gremio winger after being priced out of a move for Wilfried Zaha.
And Martinelli sent supporters wild when he decided to follow the 23-year-old on social media.
Speaking on Reddit, one fan said: “Well boys this one’s done and dusted. Move on to the next.”
Another added: “I like when Arsenal are on the verge of making new signings. Feels good.”
While one fan urged: “Just get it done already.”
Everton looks set to be the club’s second summer arrival after Martinelli signed from Brazilian club Ituano.
The winger confirmed earlier this week that he has received a lucrative offer from unnamed club.
And his wife Isa Ranieri revealed that he has already started to learn English ahead of his summer move.
Arsenal have reportedly sent a club doctor to Brazil to carry out the 23-year-old’s medical.
Emery’s side stepped up their interest in Everton following his incredible spell of form at this summer’s Copa America.
And he earned rave reviews after scoring 15 goals and made three assists for Gremio last season.
Crystal Palace forward Zaha was Arsenal’s No1 target, but Roy Hodgson admitted Arsenal are yet to make a bid “anywhere near” their valuation.
