Yeremy Pino is one of many wingers to be linked with a summer transfer to Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta has already added five first-team players to his squad during this window, spending in excess of £110 million in the process. However, the Spaniard has admitted that he wants to add at least one more fresh face to his team before the window slams shut and some reports have suggested that a winger is the most likely position to be signed.
Club-record signing Nicolas Pepe is close to joining Ligue 1 outfit OGC Nice, football.london understands, leaving a spot open on the flank and Pino is one name mooted as a replacement for the Ivorian. With that being said, we have rounded up all the latest chatter on the Spaniard making the move from Villarreal to north London this summer.

Player's stance
According to transfer guru Dean Jones, Pino would very much be open to making a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer. Speaking about Arsenal's transfer plans on The Football Terrace YouTube channel, Jones said: "They are still on the case of Yeremy Pino, who scored in a win at the weekend for Villarreal.
“He’s going to continue to play for his club as normal, but I’m told he is very much open to a transfer like this and would be excited to join Arsenal.”
Neto priority
Despite links to Pino, The Athletic have claimed that it is Wolves starlet Pedro Neto who is the current priority for the north London club. Still, Neto has five years left on his contract with Bruno Lage's side, meaning a deal could be difficult to pull off this summer.
Chelsea battle
Arsenal aren't the only side battling for the signature of Pino in the transfer market though. Reports from Simon Phillips claim that London rivals Chelsea are also eyeing a move for the youngster, following their recent approach of signing proven younger players this window.
Price tag
Should the Gunners wish to make a move to land Pino this summer, it may come at a hefty price, with the winger signing a new contract just last November. According to Fabrizio Romano, via CaughtOffside, any potential offer to sign the Spaniard would have to be in excess of €50million (£42million).
Pino interest
Arsenal have been following young winger Yeremy Pino over a potential transfer for a "long time", according to Fabrizio Romano, via GiveMeSport. "They are one of many clubs that have been following him for a long time," Romano said. "He’s doing great with Villarreal. At the moment, there is still no bid or nothing advanced for Pino."
