Arsenal are said to be keen on Villarreal defender Pau Torres, who has made an impressive start to the season.
Arsenal fans have had a mixed reaction after being linked with Pau Torres by 90 Minute Football.
The report suggests that Arsenal are leading the race to sign Torres from Villarreal, after his impressive season in La Liga so far.
The 22-year-old has looked accomplished in the Villarreal defence, and his form has caught the attention of Arsenal’s scouting team.
Some Arsenal fans are excited by the rumours that they want the Spanish centre-back, but others have suggested that there are other options which they would prefer.
Arsenal are likely to be looking for a central defender, as their defence has not looked particularly solid so far this season.
Although the return of Kieran Tierney, Hector Bellerin and Rob Holding to fitness should help Unai Emery’s side, it is clear that additions are still needed.
Torres may still be developing as a player, but he could still be an improvement on Arsenal’s current centre-back options and would be an intriguing addition if he was brought to the Emirates Stadium.
