Arsenal ‘in talks to sign Yacine Brahimi for free’ after Porto exit but personal terms are ‘not near to being agreed’
- Yacine Brahimi is a free agent after letting his contract run down at Porto
- Arsenal have moved quickly to try to snap up his services on a free transfer
- Unai Emery only has £45million at his disposal in the summer transfer window
Arsenal have begun negotiations with Yacine Brahimi, according to reports.
The 29-year-old is available on a free transfer after his contract with Porto expired on Monday and Arsenal have jumped at the chance to acquire his services.
Unai Emery’s men have a limited budget of just £45million this summer after failing to secure Champions League football for a third season running, meaning big-money signings will be hard to come by.

And according to Sky Sports, Arsenal are in talks to sign the 29-year-old winger as they look to find a way around their lack of resources in the transfer window.
However, it is understood personal terms for Brahimi are still a while away from being agreed.
Brahimi enjoyed the best scoring campaign of his career last season, with 13 goals in 49 appearances as Porto finished second in Primeira Liga.
