Arsenal reveals date to unveil Sokratis after agreeing fee

Sokratis, who turned 30 at the weekend, is the second signing at the club since the arrival of Unai Emeray as manager and will add yet more experience to the backline after the free capture of Stephan Lichtsteiner from Juventus at the end of his contract.

Sokratis is believed to have signed a three-year deal with Arsenal, his medical taking place at the start of June.

He stands at 6’1″, and plays centre-back for club and country.

Last season, he made 43 appearances for Dortmund, scoring three goals. Transfermarkt value him at around €22m, so Arsenal are getting a decent deal if the rumours on price are true.
