According to reports today, Athletico Madrid have pulled out of the race to sign Tawric, leaving Arsenal as the only contenders for his signature, which could come at a bargain basement price of as little as £750,000.
Le Boss has been monitoring Jibril for a couple of years and brought him to Arsenal for a trial earlier in the year.
