The 22-year-old, who is a Uruguay international with 10 caps under his belt, scored 13 goals in 40 games in all competitions in 2022. According to a report by Goal, the Gunners are in ‘talks’ with him over a potential switch over to the Premier League this month.

The Gunners will apparently go ‘head-to-head’ with rivals Tottenham Hotspur for the signing of Brighton and Hove Albion starlet Leandro Trossard. That’s according to talkSPORT, who claim the Seagulls want at least £25million for his signature if they are to cash in. The Belgium international has found the net seven times in the league so far this term.
