The Daily Mirror is citing reports emanating from Argentina that claim Arsenal have made an approach to land the Boca star ahead of the Mundial in Russia.

As per the same report, Pavon’s agents have held talks with the Gunners and their City rivals Chelsea ahead of a possible transfer.

The 22-year-old netted six goals and provided 11 assists in 26 matches for Boca Juniors in their local league in 2018.

Arsenal brought in Switzerland skipper Stephan Lichtsteiner on a free from Italian Serie A side Juventus a week ago to secure their first signing of the Unai Emery era.
