Argentine teenager Angel Di Maria is poised to join Benfica after claiming he was in talks to join Arsenal.
Rosario Central striker Di Maria is set to be part of a £4m double transfer package with team-mate Andre Diaz.
Di Maria, 19, who featured in Argentina's victorious Under-20 World Championship-winning team, will sign a five-year contract with Benfica.
Last week, he suggested that negotiations over a transfer to Arsenal were going well.
