The centre-back, 23, is rated as one of the best prospects in Europe.

And Wolves are understood to have struck a £10million deal for his coveted signature.

It means Arsenal will have to look elsewhere for a new centre-half, with new arrival William Saliba set to be loaned back to St Etienne for the season.

Laurent Koscielny is also pushing for a return to France.

And Unai Emery could be left short at the back going into the new season.

But Wolves fans are sure to be pleased after securing a new face.

Raul Jimenez and Leander Dendoncker have both joined on permanent deals after spending last term on loan at Molineux.

And Cisse will become Santo’s third summer signing as Wolves look to make an impression in the Europa League.

The ace was recently playing in the African Cup of Nations final with Senegal, but will link up with his new team shortly.
