Arsenal will complete the shock signing of Chelsea centre-half David Luiz before Thursday's transfer deadline, report the BBC.

The Gunners will pay £8m to acquire the Brazilian from their London rivals, with Luiz set to sign a two-year contract.

Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney is also on the verge of sealing a switch to the Emirates Stadium.

The Scotland international has been linked with Arsenal all summer, and the Premier League side are finally poised to tie up a £25m transfer.
