Dimitrov nears Arsenal move

Nicolay Dimitrov has moved a step closer to completing his switch from Levski Sofia to Arsenal. The Bulgarian attacker has finished his trial but the Gunners are keen to reassess Dmitrov's progress in the coming weeks.

Nicolay Dimitrov said: "I think I am capable of playing for Arsenal. Of course, I hope my transfer will become a reality in the forthcoming transfer window. I have heard that I have left positive impressions. Arsenal play quick and technical football and that is what I exactly like."

Levski's official site reports: “PFC Levski President Todor Batkov received today (2nd January 2008) a fax from Arsenal which expresses the very positive impression which Nikolay Dimitrov made to Arsene Wenger and his coaching staff during his one-week trial in London and their wish to follow his performances during the forthcoming training camp of PFC Levski in Eilat, Israel”.
