The Gunners have not been afraid to splash the cash on new recruits since the transfer window reopened, having spent close to £120million, but boss Mikel Arteta could strengthen his squad further ahead of the September 1 deadline.
What’s the latest news involving Pino?
According to Goal, Arsenal are interested in signing Pino and they could strike a deal worth far less than the release clause written into his Villarreal contract.
The report suggests the La Liga side are open to accepting a deal worth around £38million despite the four-cap Spain international boasting a £67million buyout agreement.
Although Spanish sources have claimed that Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are also keen on Pino, Arsenal may hold the upper-hand heading into the final stages of the summer window.
That is because journalist Pete O’Rourke has previously told GIVEMESPORT that the 19-year-old would be interested in completing a switch to the Emirates Stadium.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Pino has been on Gunners chief Arteta’s radar for a prolonged period of time.
