The Sun claim that Arsenal and Chelsea target Yeremy Pino could be available for a bargain £25million in January, with Villarreal open to his potential exit. The report says Arsenal will be given money to spend in the next transfer window.
Pino, 20, has established himself as one of Spain’s next big talents – after breaking into the Villarreal side in the 20-21 season. He scored seven goals in that campaign, and seven in the next. This season, he has managed one goal in 14.
But his form this season is of no concern to the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea. The Guardian report that Chelsea have identified Pino as a potential signing, if Mason Mount does not sign a new deal. The Sun day Arsenal are interested.
What is interesting from The Sun’s report is that Villarreal could be open to their academy product’s exit for a bargain fee. Just £25million would be enough to land the six-time Spain international. He has a contract at Villarreal until 2027.

Pino has proven, despite being just 20 years of age, that he is an incredible talent. While the goals have not come as freely as last season, or the season prior to that, he is still a versatile player capable of massive talent in years to come.
His potential is certainly worth £25million, especially given his contract still has five years left to run. Which club would be best for Pino? You would argue that Arsenal lack numerous options out wide. Mikel Arteta’s side is best for Pino.
Chelsea have Christian Pulisic, Raheem Sterling, Mount, Kai Havertz and more options. Arsenal need cover for Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. TransferMarkt report that Pino is looked after by the same agency as star Kieran Tierney.
