The north London outfit have made significant progress in their attempts to sign the highly-rated French international. Corriere della Sera has reported that Kone initially favoured a summer lucrative move to Paris Saint-Germain and subsequently rejected interest from Atletico Madrid. However, with the French champions showing no desire to formalise their interest, Arsenal have capitalised on the opening to negotiate an agreement with the player’s entourage over a move to the Emirates.
