The Gunners have reached an agreement with the Belgian club over a transfer for the 21-year-old midfielder.
Arsenal have agreed a deal in principle worth up to £18 million ($25m) with Anderlecht for the transfer of Albert Lokonga.
The Gunners have been locked in talks with the Belgium club for weeks over the 21-year-old and have seen previous bids rejected.
