Arsenal may have significantly strengthened their attacking ranks in the past 12 months following the additions of Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan but it seems there is room for further arrivals.
Unai Emery is believed to be keen on adding another attacker to his side ahead of his debut campaign in the Premier League, with the Gunners looking to find a replacement for Alexis Sanchez, and it’s stated talks have been held with the representatives of a top South American star.
Reports from Argentina claim Arsenal and Chelsea have held discussions regarding a deal for Argentina international Cristian Pavon, who is one of few home-based players within the squad for the upcoming World Cup.

22-year-old Pavon is being chased by a number of top European sides and Arsenal have received encouragement with claims that Boca Juniors are already looking for replacements, although they’re keen to retain his services until after the World Cup.

Boca hope that Pavon’s performances in Russia will increase his valuation and they will seek the maximum possible amount for their young attacker.
