LONDON: Spain international winger Santi Cazorla is poised to become Arsenal's record signing after undergoing a medical this morning, reported The Sun.

Cazorla (pic), 27, is due to seal a move from debt-ridden Malaga for £16million, rising to £20 million.

It will beat the £15m Arsenal paid Zenit St Petersburg for Andrey Arshavin, with Cazorla agreeing a four-year deal.

The Gunners also hope to bring in Real Madrid playmaker Nuri Sahin on loan.

Meanwhile, another London club Tottenham are set to cash in on Malaga's fire sale by making a £10m bid for striker Salomon Rondon.

Malaga are in total turmoil and Rondon admitted: “If the situation is not fixed it is normal that players would leave.”
