Arsenal are set to clinch a deal for Barcelona's 16-year-old Julio Pleguezuelo Selva.
Premier League rivals Tottenham and Manchester City were both tracking the teenager, but Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is set to prevail in the chase for Selva's signature.
If the Gunners are successful they will land the Spaniard on the cheap, as he hasn't yet signed a contract at Barca, according to the Daily Mirror.
