Ajax defender Thomas Vermaelen claims he will undergo a medical at Arsenal tomorrow ahead of a £10million move.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has yet to comment on the speculation but the Belgium international has been offered a four-year deal according to his agent.

Vermaelen, 23, said: “Tomorrow I will fly to London to have my medical. After that I hope to put pen to paper. Boy I feel so proud, Arsenal is a fantastic club and one that, as a child, I enjoyed watching play.

“When a club like Arsenal stands at your door, then you just go. A lot will change in my life.
Next season I will come up against the best strikers in the world. I am not scared by that, I will give all my body can give. This is one of the most beautiful days of my life.”
