Chelsea are reluctantly ready to let him move across London, with talks between the two set to take place at some point in the next few days.
However, Arsenal are not prepared to get into a bidding war with anybody in the race to sign Liverpool star Raheem Sterling, the London Evening Standard reports.

Gunners star Theo Walcott is set to pen a new contract with the club this week, following much speculation about his future, the Daily Mirror reports.
The 26-year-old is about to enter the final year of his deal at the Emirates, but talks have been ongoing and there now appears to be light at the end of the tunnel.
Midfielder Jack Wilshere has declared his commitment to the club by denying that he is interested in linking up with Manchester City just to make up the numbers, according to the Daily Express.
