Javier PastoreYesterday, the Sunday Express reported Arsenal are monitoring Javier Pastore’s situation at PSG, with the creative midfielder currently out-of-favour with manager Laurent Blanc.

It was suggested the Gunners asked about the availability of the 24-year-old during the summer and if things continue the way they are for Pastore then he may well consider a move away from the French capital.

And former PSG winger and BT Sport pundit David Ginola believes Pastore would be foolish not to re-evaluate his options if he doesn’t manage to cement a regular spot in Blanc’s side before the Christmas period:

‘It will be difficult for Pastore at PSG this season because he has not proved he is a regular.

‘You know there have always been discussion about Javier Pastore. There are a lot of question marks.

‘If he doesn’t play until Christmas he will probably ask for a move in the winter transfer window. I’m pretty sure about that.’

And if he decides to hand in a transfer request during the winter window, Ginola reckons Pastore isn’t guaranteed to succeed in England having failed to live up to expectations in France:

‘I think he’s a good player but being able to do well in England is a different story.

‘He hasn’t done very well in France. People were expecting much more from him.’

Reports have suggested that Arsene Wenger will be handed sufficient funds (around £40 million) in January to bolster his squad, and perhaps the Frenchman will make a move for the Argentine – if the price is right of course.

However, if a move does transpire many Arsenal fans will ask whether they actually need another attacking midfielder coming in, especially when other areas of the squad need improving. This particular Gooner is one of those fans.
