Arsenal Defender closes in on exit after 'positive talks'

Sokratis Papastathopoulos could be on the verge of leaving Arsenal after 'positive talks' with Fenerbahce.

That's according to a report from Hurriyet, which claims the Turkish Super Lig outfit want to sign the defender for free when his contract expires at the end of this season.

Sokratis, who has not played at all this season, can sign a pre-contract agreement with a club from abroad once the transfer window opens next week.

And while Arsenal would surely prefer to receive a fee, a move for the centre-back will at least clear his £92,000-per-week paypacket from the wage bill.
