William Saliba to Arsenal has been a saga running for weeks. Recent reports had claimed that the young defender was very close to joining the Gunners but now, according to journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi, Tottenham have made a late bid for the player.

According to him, Spurs have made an offer in excess of €30 million, which is excluding bonuses. It is an offer that exceeds the expectations of St Etienne and the two clubs will meet tomorrow to finalize the operation.

He also stated that Arsenal and the French outfit had reached a global agreement but couldn’t come to terms regarding the bonuses. As a result, the Gunners will now have to respond soon if they are to get the player since the Lilywhites’ bid for the player is better than their rivals’.

The next 48 hours are going to be important, he added.
