Arsenal keen on £8.5m move for Colombian playmaker

Arsenal have been reported to be eyeing a £8.5m transfer bid for Porto’s attacking midfielder Juan Quintero, according to sources in Portugal.

The 22-year-old stood out in the 2014 World Cup and is currently one of Porto’s most valued players, but it has been suggested the club are ready to cash in on him.

The Colombian international had been seen to be on the radar of Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger last year, and is looking likely to put forward a summer bid to land his services.

The exciting youngster would bolster Arsenal’s attacking options and would definitely be one to watch as the Gunners look to challenge for the Premier League title next season.

Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal side are currently third in the Barclays Premier League having accumulated 70 points, three points behind Manchester City in second.
