Thomas Vermaelen's agent is confident a deal to take the Ajax defender to Barclays Premier League giants Arsenal will soon take place.
The 23-year-old Belgian is currently on holiday but agent Sjaak Swart claims he will soon sit down for discussions with the Gunners.
"It's more a question of when than one of if it will take place," Swart told Ajaxlife.nl.
A £10million fee has reportedly been agreed between the clubs for Vermaelen, who has a contract with Ajax until June 2012.

wenger please finish this vermaelen deal off first and get onto others. he is not the only missing piece in the arsenal squad
I'm getting fade up with the way Arsenal is go about this transfer. They should let Ade and Galas go. Then bring in sharp strikers and calculative defenders in, that is all Arsenal needs to do now. They can be wasting time pricing every player when they know what should have been done. From samuel Anodi ( Nigeria )
i think we should sell ade for the right price good player just heart not really in it,silvestre will prob rerire dis season nd he was there wen needed so let him stay,buy yaya toure, get dzenko. i agree we need to get everyone early to play together (hopefully eduardo wont be injured same with rosicky)
if this happens, it should be a good season
GUYS

and to wenger.open ur mind and help to buy players this seaon
Yaya Toure is an average player playing amoungst a great team of players (Barca)... I reckon he won't be enough I'd much rather lorik cana.
Yea he is a good signing, no doubt if sandarous is not coming back, but sanderous has more experience and what we need most is Yaya Toure, I've always said it and Fabregas said the same yesterday.
well said Pete, i keep looking out for done deals by arsenal is better we get on with it sooner than later at the end of the day what we need is obvious to all?
I agree with peter. put pen to paper and get him onto Colney and lets see what he is made of in the PL.
We need all the transfer deals to take place well before the start of next season. We must have a settled side, otherwise the team will not perform at the very start (and look at what happened last year) too many games lost or drawn because the team were un settled. We had Ade talking about moving and injuries etc. So, lets get the deals done soon and have the squad train together before the start of 09/10 season
