Negotiations threatened to break down on Monday with Flamengo wanting a permanent deal, but Marí (who asked to leave) seems to have pushed through a move.

It’s understood that manager Mikel Arteta specifically asked for left-footed defender.

Arsenal are currently short on defensive options with Calum Chambers, Shkodran Mustafi and Kieran Tierney all out injured.

Ornstein also reports that the club could complete one more loan signing before Friday’s deadline.
