Arsenal Wenger has confirmed Arsenal will complete the £50million double swoop of Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez in the next 48 hours.
The duo were in London on Friday to undergo medicals which have now been completed with just the final paperwork to be concluded before the deals can be ratified.
Mustafi, the club's No 1 central defensive target this summer, arrives at the Emirates from Valencia in a deal that could be worth up to £35m.

Lucas Perez will primarily be used as a centre forward by Arsenal after his arrival
Versatile attacker Perez, who will be used primarily as a centre-forward, will cost £16.9m from Deportivo La Coruna.
The deals mean the Gunners have now spent close to £90m this summer following the arrivals of Granit Xhaka, Rob Holding and Taksuma Asano.
'I think they should both go through. They have both had medicals and we just have to finish the paper work.
'It looks like it will be announced next week.'
Meanwhile, Wenger has eased fears that left-back Nacho Monreal suffered an injury set-back in Saturday's win over Watford.
The Spaniard limped off in the second half but Wenger says Monreal suffered a knock rather than any muscular damage.
