Arsenal Close In On £36m Double Swoop For World Cup Midfield Superstars

Posted by

Arsene Wenger is also believing to be close to wrapping up a move for FC Porto winger Juan Quintero after being impressed with his antics at the World Cup with Colombia.

Despite an abundance of attacking midfielders such as Santi Cazorla and Mesut Ozil in his squad, Wenger is thought to be weighing-up a £16m bid for Quintero.

The 21-year-old linked up with the Portuguese giants last summer after spending the previous campaign on loan at Italian side Pescara, where his progression was hampered by a series of niggling injuries.

His displays in the Primeira Liga earned him a call up to the Colombian World Cup party this summer, and he repaid the faith shown in him by bagging the winner in a 2-1 win against Ivory Coast after coming on as a late substitute.

Quintero was a former target of Manchester United during his time in Italy, but Arsenal are now said to be firm favourites despite having an abundance of attacking midfielders on their books already.
