ARSENAL, LIVERPOOL LEAD RICE TO SIGN YEREMY PINO FROM VILLARREAL
According to a report by Spanish publication MARCA, as relayed by Sport Witness, Arsenal and Liverpool lead the chase for 19-year-old Spanish international Yeremy Pino. The two Premier League giants are keen on signing the winger, with Villarreal open to selling him if their €45 million demand is met. Yeremy Pino’s name has popped in the English and Spanish media after potential interest from Premier League clubs. The Spanish winger has seen his stature rise in La Liga after impressive performances for Villarreal, although he was the least expected player to garner so much attention.
Manchester City and Liverpool were credited with an interest in the Spanish international, but Arsenal’s name was also thrown in the mix recently. The Reds and the Gunners have been in the market for a wide attacker, with the latter failing to land Raphinha earlier in the window.
Yesterday, we covered a story suggesting Arsenal were willing to spend up to €50 million to sign Yeremy, which may be slightly higher than Villarreal’s reported acceptable price tag of €45 million. In any case, there is significant interest from the north Londoners, who also have a few alternatives in mind.
Cody Gakpo and Moussa Diaby are mentioned as possible other targets for Arsenal, who could attempt a last-ditch move for the latter. However, in Yeremy’s case, the Gunners have competition from Liverpool, with Jurgen Klopp keen on landing the 19-year-old Spanish international.
