Although the Gunners have recently been strongly linked with the highly-rated young Spaniard by AS, Romano does not specifically mention them as one of the clubs interested in Pino at the moment.

Romano offers some additional insight into Pino's situation in his exclusive column for CaughtOffside today, noting that Premier League clubs have been keeping tabs on him and that it won't be simple to work out a deal with Villarreal.

"Many clubs have been following Yeremi Pino for months," Romano said. "At least three Premier League clubs have been keeping an eye on Yeremi Pino."

It won't be an easy negotiation because Villarreal wants more than €50m for their young star; no proposals have yet been made to them.

“As for the rumours about Arsenal, Edu was not travelling to Spain to meet Villarreal, also because Pino’s agents are based in the UK (Stellar Group).”

It seems that Arsenal fans may be getting a little carried away by the recent Pino links, and Edu’s trip to Spain, but it seems worth keeping an eye on this big talent in the weeks and months ahead.

As Romano says, the 19-year-old looks like a big prospect for the future, and top clubs are clearly keeping tabs on him.

Arsenal would surely do well to solidify their interest in the teenager, who could be ideal to replace the struggling Nicolas Pepe in Mikel Arteta’s attack.
