The Gooners will pay the fee over two years with an upfront payment and the two others on on the July of 2024 and the other a year later.
It is likely to take another 24 hours for the paperwork to be completed between the two clubs.
The 24-year-old Hammer then needs to sign his Arsenal contract believed to worth at least £250,000 per week and most importantly Arsenal need to bank transfer the first multi million pound up front payment to the Hammers in return for releasing his player registration.
