ARSENAL are closing in on Congo hitman Tresor Mputu. The
striker, 21, plays for TP Mazembe but was on trial at the Emirates
Stadium last month.
Mputu dubbed the next Samuel Eto'o impressed Gunners boss
Arsene Wenger and would cost around £500,000. The star's agent Bajo
Bujani says Arsenal have made an offer for Mputu and are ahead of
Seville in the race for his signature.
He said: "While Seville have also shown great interest, I believe
Tresor will end up in England. "Arsenal have given TP Mazembe until
Monday to respond to their offer. "I'm convinced that the deal will
be completed after the weekend."
