Lille have confirmed negotiations to sell Gervinho to Arsenal are making progress and expect a resolution to be found next week.
Gervinho is keen to move to the Premier League and has been linked with several clubs, including Manchester City and Newcastle United.
However, Arsenal appear to be favourites to capture the Ivory Coast international with reports claiming the attacker will cost in the region of £10million.
A move to Lille's Ligue 1 rivals Paris St Germain has been ruled out and the French champions' general manager Frederic Paquet revealed talks are continuing.
"It should be next week," Paquet told mercato365.com regarding the current state of the discussions.
Gervinho will be confirmed next week...

Not good enough to be a first team player, Gervinho.

"Not good enough to be a first team player, Gervinho."
That may be true but to have him as a squad player/2nd half stunner would be excellent. We play
Nasri/Arsh -----------Rvp------------ Walcott/Nasri
Far too often, he would bring something new to the table, a diffrent style of play, and he could work all those positions, in diffrent formations and with diffrent players

Gervinho has all the ingredients to play for us and will give us something extra that our other wide players don't. People claimed last season we didn't have players with winning mentality, well Gervinho won the double last year.

only reason we are getting him, is cus he is nearing the end of his contract and is "cheap".
