Yeremy Pino to Arsenal transfer state of play as Edu eyes Nicolas Pepe replacement

Arsenal's transfer window is approaching the final week before it closes again until next year, with plenty of movement coming both into and out of the club. The first few weeks saw five new signings make their way to the Emirates Stadium, with over £100million spent to bolster the squad.

Since then, the focus has shifted to getting fringe players and highly-paid but underperforming stars out of the club. That could continue to be the main motive for the rest of the market, with club-record signing Nicolas Pepe one of those linked with an exit as the likes of OGC Nice and Leicester City circle a loan move.

However, should the Ivorian leave, a late replacement would be needed to offer depth on the right-wing in particular. One of those linked with a move is Villarreal winger Yeremy Pino.

A transfer for the Spaniard isn't totally out of the realms of possibility, given that he fits the recruitment structure the Gunners have implemented over recent years. At just 19-years-old, the winger has plenty of potential but he isn't untested either, having made nearly 80 appearances for former Arsenal boss Unai Emery's side.

While the Gunners are yet to make a formal bid for the winger, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano claims that the side have been monitoring a move for the winger. Speaking to CaughtOffside, he claims that €50million (£42million) could be enough to tempt a move.

While it would be a relatively large fee, sporting director Edu has shown a desire to spend that sort of money when a transfer target is of keen interest. Whether a move for the Spain international materialises remains to be seen though, with the Athletic reporting that Wolves winger Pedro Neto is the current priority.
