The starlet has rejected a contract offer to stay at Paris Saint-Germain after being persuaded by new Gunners head coach Unai Emery who gave Adli his debut when he was head coach at the French giants.
Adli, as first reported in France, has signed a three-year contract with Arsenal with the option to sign for two more.
An attacking midfielder who has played for his country at Under-16, U17 and U18 level by France, Adli has scored 13 goals in 23 appearances at national team level.
Confirmation of Adli’s arrival is expected to follow in the coming days along with an update on Emery’s coaching staff imminent signing of Sokratis Papastathopoulos from Borussia Dortmund.
Emery handed him his Ligue 1 debut with Paris Saint-Germain last season, with the youth academy graduate playing seven minutes of the final match of the season against Caen, an encounter that finished scoreless.
