Arsenal are ready to make their attack to sign their top target for the summer, after agreeing a move to sign Christos Tzolis, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Gunners secured a £34m agreement with Club Brugge to bolster their forward line with Greek international Tzolis as a replacement for Leandro Trossard, adding to the arrival of goalkeeper Illan Meslier earlier in the window.
Mikel Arteta is keen to continue making additions to the squad as the north London club eye back-to-back Premier League titles, and with the World Cup now set to reach its climax, they are ready to make their move.
Arsenal Ready to Bid for Morgan Rogers
Morgan Rogers
According to Romano, Arsenal are now preparing to make a bid to sign Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers as their top target.
The playmaker, who has been described as 'world-class', enjoyed a fantastic campaign for the Villans as they finished fourth in the Premier League and won the Europa League. That earned him a place in the England squad at the World Cup, where he started and registered an assist in the semi-final defeat to Argentina.
Arsenal have been strongly linked with a move for the forward, and speaking in his latest YouTube video, Romano has revealed that the club are in advanced talks of personal terms and are now preparing to make an opening formal offer.
"The player Arsenal want to add as a new winger is, from my information, still Morgan Rogers," he said.
"Advanced conversations on player side, no issues on contract terms. The personal terms are almost agreed, just a few details to clarify, and Arsenal are ready to attack. Arsenal are ready to go and negotiate for their new winger Morgan Rogers.
"So, club-to-club talks also expected to start soon, after Tzolis, for Morgan Rogers, the player Arsenal want to add to their squad."

Arsenal have made it clear that they need to improve their forward options for the upcoming campaign, despite winning the Premier League title, and reaching the Carabao Cup and Champions League finals.
Rogers bagged a very impressive 14 goals and 12 assists in all competitions, and the Gunners have clearly been impressed. They've shown that they have no problem with splashing the cash if they feel it necessary too, and Rogers would certainly be worthwhile.
It won't be a cheap deal, but Rogers is clearly keen on the move, and Arsenal have made it clear that they want him as part of their squad, so this is set to accelerate in the coming days.
