Reported Arsenal target Nikolaj Moller appears to have confirmed his move to the Emirates Stadium, judging by his Instagram bio.

According to Swedish publication Aftonbladet, the Gunners will sign the 18-year-old striker from Malmo for around £420,000, where he is expected to link up with the Under-18s.

Moller, a Sweden Under-19 international, is reportedly signing a four-year deal at Arsenal, with the Gunners retaining an option to extend his contract by a further 12 months.

And while no official confirmation has yet appeared, the player himself has tagged Arsenal’s Insta account on his bio, suggesting a deal is all but done.

Though he is yet to play for Malmo’s first team, Moller has been training with the Swedish club’s senior side.

The youngster, who has been compared to compatriot Zlatan Ibrahimovic, spent time at Italian club Bologna, scoring three goals for their Under-17s in 19 appearances.

Obviously one transfer story will be dominating in the red half of North London today, that of Arsenal’s reported late pursuit of Thomas Partey.

However, the Gunners academy is worth keeping an eye on, given the talents they’ve produced over the years.

And with Moller being so highly rated in his native country, he could certainly be one to watch as he begins his Hale End adventure.
