Arsenal ready to pounce for Seville whizzkid Diego Perotti

Arsenal are poised to make a move for Seville's Diego Perotti.

Perotti, 21, is regarded as one of the best young wingers in La Liga and has also been attracting interest from a number of top clubs across Europe.

With Arsenal suffering a 3-0 defeat against Chelsea on Sunday, Arsene Wenger is keen to strengthen his squad in January and has sent scouts to see the Argentine international in action.

Seville president Jose Maria del Nido would love to keep his star player at the club, but knows a big money offer could be to much for him to turn down.

Perotti has a buy-out clause of more than £20million and says that his long-term future is very much in the hands of Seville.

Perotti said: “This team has given me everything. My future is in the hands of the club. I feel very comfortable here and I want to succeed.”
