Hertha Berlin youngster Omar Rekik is seemingly on the verge of completing a transfer to Arsenal.
The Gunners had been keen to sign the 18-year-old during the summer transfer window, only to run out of time to finalise a deal for the teenager.
However, it has previously been suggested that the defender would eventually move to the Emirates Stadium at the beginning of 2021.
On Thursday, Rekik took to Instagram to show that he had boarded a flight to London, a development which will only intensify speculation regarding a switch to the Premier League side.
Should the Dutch-born player sign a contract with Arsenal, he would likely spend time in the academy setup or be sent out on loan for the second half of the season.
Rekik has not made a first-team appearance during his time at Hertha.
