Arsenal 'to reignite interest' in Argentina wonderkid Cristian Pavón

Arsenal will reportedly reignite their interest in winger Cristian Pavón six months after initially trying to sign him.

The 22-year-old was a standout performer for Boca Juniors last season and has continued to impress for Argentina at the World Cup.

According to AS, Pavón was contacted by the Gunners in January, who will look to land their man again this summer.

The report also claims that Unai Emery is keen to bolster his attacking options despite already having Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Alex Iwobi and Danny Welbeck at his disposal.

Boca were open to selling their star man in January but now believe that holding on could be in their best interests, as good showings in Russia will see his value rise.

Arsenal are also expected to confirm the signings of Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Lucas Torreira in the coming days.
