A close source to the player's agent, John Ola Shittu, told our correspondent yesterday that the football agent had made the revelation during his recent visit to Nigeria that arrangements have been concluded to ensure that the 20-year-old makes a move from Norway to England.

The source told Goal.com that Shittu had refused to divulge the destination of the former Flying Eagles' marksman, saying "by January Ogbuke should will be joining a club in England and that is much I can divulge."

However, the persistence of our source to know the exact destination of the player in England yielded results, as Shittu opened up that Ogbuke would be moving to the Emirates Stadium.

Last month, Goal.com had reported that Arsenal have been hot on the heels of the 20-year-old Nigerian after their scouts have repeatedly watched the player during the Norwegian league matches involving FC Lyn-Oslo.

Ogbuke is already being valued in the region of £4 million.

It is widely believed that Ogbuke's eminent move to last season's UEFA Champions League finalists may not be unconnected with the close ties between Arsenal and Sports Entertainment Media, the outfit of Shittu.

Also, England's The Sun Online had reported last month that Chelsea and Manchester United have been linked with a race to sign Ogbuke.
