Arsenal are going to meet the agent of Orlando City winger Facundo Torres. The news comes straight from the comments of the player’s agent.
However, that does not mean that a move to the Gunners is closing. The Premier League giants will also have to negotiate a fee with the MLS side.
ARSENAL AND FACUNDO TORRES TRANSFER RUMORS IGNITE MORE THAN EVER
The rumored interest of Arsenal in Orlando City winger Facundo Torres is going to ignite more than ever. This is because the player’s agent has confirmed that he is going to meet the club’s representatives. The name of the agent is Edgardo Lasalvia. However, he also has said that he is going to meet the Gunners South American talent scout Toni Lima.
He has also said that there is nothing advanced in these talks. Hence, it is still an open race for the talented winger. Edgardo is also the agent Manchester United’s Facundo Pellistri. He helped Pellistri get the United move. Hence, Edgardo has the experience to deal with big European clubs like Arsenal. Therefore, the Gunners will have an experienced person to make a deal with.
WHY ARE THE GUNNERS EXPLORING A MOVE FOR THE URUGUAYAN WINGER?
According to reports, Arsenal are more than desperate to sign a right-winger in the January transfer window. This is because of an injury to Bukayo Saka. At the moment they have only Reiss Nelson to play in that position. They have the option of Marquinhos. However, Mikel Arteta is likely to sanction a loan move in January for the Brazilian winger.
Therefore, the requirement for a new right-winger signing increases more than ever. Bukayo Saka will also carry the risk of getting an injury in the World Cup this month. Hence, Arsenal must have a player that Arteta trusts to score goals and provide assists in his absence. Therefore, there is a big chance that Mikel Arteta will be provided the chance to improve the right-winger department in the January transfer window.
Arsenal are also linked with the likes of Mykhaylo Mudryk and Pedro Neto. However, both players are currently out of their budget. Hence, a budget-friendly option in the form of Facundo Torres is likely going to be explored. However, the reports also indicate that he is one of many players on the list.
