The fee could rise to £20m with add-ons, with the 28-year-old Argentinian due to undergo a medical at Villa Park this weekend and discuss personal terms.
The deal allows Aston Villa to keep some resources for the pursuit of a forward, with a move for Milot Rashica at Werder Bremen on the list. The German club wants a fee in the region of £18.5m (€20m) for the Kosovo international, who was linked to RB Leipzig earlier this summer.
The Argentine International kept nine clean sheets in 23 games last season and helped Arsenal win the FA Cup, also starting their Community Shield triumph over Liverpool at the start of 2020/21.
Aston Villa has already broken their transfer record to sign Ollie Watkins from Brentford on a five-year deal, while Matty Cash has also joined on a five-year deal from Nottingham Forest.
Arsenal's new faces stole the headlines in the 3-0 win over Fulham.
Alexandre Lacazette said after the win that he is happy to stay, despite speculation linking him with a move to Juventus.
"I'm really happy. It's only the press who say l am unhappy and l want to leave. But for me, from the beginning, I have said I am happy with Arsenal and "I want to play and win titles, we won a title last month, so I am happy with Arsenal." He said.
As for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and that elusive contract, Mikel Arteta insisted: "I'm really positive we'll get it done. Hopefully, in the next few days, you can get some news."
Arsenal boss 'Arteta' also said that defender Rob Holding was going nowhere having been heavily linked with a loan to Newcastle; he stated in the win following David Luiz's injury.
Having survived by the skin of their teeth, Aston Villa now have a platform to build on in the Premier League.
Whether that's with talisman Jack Grealish, or with the funds his transfer could generate, remains to be seen, but the feeling is the club have got the hardest part out of the way already: Premier League survival in their first season back.
He has two years remaining on his contract at the Emirates and impressed when stepping in for Leno when the German was injured in June.
