Gervinho arrives at Arsenal for medical ahead of €12m transfer from Lille

Gervinho has arrived at Arsenal to complete a medical ahead of his €12 million move from Lille.

Goal.com exclusively revealed last month the Ivory Coast international has already agreed a four-year contract with Arsene Wenger's side ahead of his switch from the Ligue 1 club.

The forward played a vital role in Lille's title-winning side last term as he scored 15 goals, whilst making 10 assists.

The 24-year-old's versatility will be a major boost to Arsenal's hunt for silverware next season as he is adept at playing in a supporting role, wide of the striker on either flank, as well as spearheading an attack.

Gervinho, who previously stated his intention to help Wenger's side end their seven-year trophy drought, will become Arsenal's second signing this summer after the arrival of Carl Jenkinson from Charlton in June.
