Arsenal Sporting director Edu Gaspar has reportedly been spotted taking a flight to Spain, sparking speculation that the club’s transfer window is far from over.
A report by the Mirror suggests that the Gunner chief was spotted boarding a flight heading to Valencia, which has sparked speculations that the North London club are ready to make a move for Villarreal youngster, 19-year-old Yeremi Pino.
A photo which shows a man resembling Edu boarding a Ryanair plane had originally circulated on Reddit before Ryanair themselves made a cheeky response on Twitter, captioning the image “Edu, PINO(t) on the return flight?”.

According to the Mirror, Pino has a release clause of £67.5m, but reports have suggested that it would take around half of that price to get a deal over the line as the La Liga club need to raise funds after failing to qualify for the Champions League this season.
Pino has been linked to a move to the Emirates Stadium in a deal worth around £33m.
The Gunners have already made a number of major signings this summer, adding Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira and Marquinhos to their squad.
Mikel Arteta has already had a successful start to the season, claiming back-to-back wins against Crystal Palace and Leicester City in their opening games of the 2022/23 season.

Cristiano Ronaldo remains part of the #MUFC project and there is no intention of parting ways with him. This is the thinking within the club, and with Erik ten Hag.

However, after failing to qualify for the Champions League the North London club may need to complete further signings this summer in order to climb into a top four position this year.
I pray the news is true about Yeremy Pino. He is going to be a good addition to the squad.
I like his fighting spirit
