Technical director Edu spotted heading to Spain to wrap up £34M Arsenal signing
Arsenal technical director Edu has set tongues wagging after he was apparently spotted jetting to Spain to complete the transfer of Yeremi Pino
Pino scored six goals and laid on four assists in 21 starts in La Liga last season, having enjoyed a breakout campaign the season before that as Villarreal won the Europa League – beating Arsenal on the way in the semi-final.
It has been claimed in the media that ArsenalFC have now submiited an offer to the Spaniards for the talented star – according to Fichajes
It has also been claimed that Villareal need to sell the player in order to raise funds to bring in their own transfer targets
Spanish outlet AS claim the financial situation at the club means they are likely to accept offers between £34m-£44m – and it now seems that Edu is heading to Spain to conclude a possible deal
A man at least resembling the Arsenal transfer chief was spotted boarding a Ryanair flight to Valencia on Sunday, on Twitter – it has been reported on the Daily Mirror
And a user insisted Edu was planning to briefly stop in Valencia before travelling to Villarreal to bring Yeremi to the Emirates
