Arsenal are reportedly keen on Daniel Podence.
Arsenal are reportedly showing an interest in Olympiakos winger Daniel Podence, claim Greek outlet Sportime.
Podence is said to be valued at £21.5 million by the Greek club.
One of the key reasons Arsenal should take Podence seriously is the performance he put in against Tottenham in the Champions League last month.
The diminutive winger caused experienced Tottenham left-back Ben Davies no end of problems and the Wales international did not know how to deal with him.
Podence scored once, and had three shots on target from four attempts.
His direct play pushed Tottenham back, making five successful dribbles in total. By comparison the rest of the Olympiakos team made seven in total combined, whoscored.com report.
Podence also created two goalscoring chances, while completing 86 per cent of his passes.
The game was proof he can cut it against a top Premier League team, last year’s Champions League semi-finalists.
Arsenal need to square this off against their other targets, current players, and Podence’s form across the season as a whole.
But the performance of the winger against Spurs is a feather in his cap, one which could yet earn him a move to the Premier League.
