Arsenal keen on Christian Pavon

The Gunners are said to be interested in Boca Juniors forward Christian Pavon, English media have reported.

Arsenal are said to be on the lookout for attacking reinforcements this winter after Danny Welbeck was ruled out for the rest of the season with injury and The Sun claim the 22-year-old has been identified as the top transfer target for January.

Unai Emery is believed to be a huge fan of Pavon’s talents and Arsenal are said to be preparing a bid worth up to £40 million to get their hands on an in-demand Argentinean.

Pavon’s representatives are said to be in direct contact with a host of Europe’s top sides but the English media suggest the player himself would be open to the idea of a switch to London.

Boca Juniors star is a versatile footballer who can play in numerous positions upfront. He can be deployed centrally or on either side of the attack which are the attributes that make him a potentially perfect fit for the Gunners.
