Berta plans to add Micheli to Arsenal staff on track

The Italian is set to leave Napoli, where he is credited for bringing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to the Azzurri before the Georgian's sale to PSG last January.

He also oversaw the arrival of Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa from Fulham, with the midfielder going on to prove himself one of the big influences on last season's Scudetto triumph.

Football.London says Micheli's arrival is expected to be sealed in the coming weeks and he will arrive as primarily as Berta's No2.

There is hope Arsenal can tie down Micheli well before the January market so to assist in planning for the midseason transfer window.
