Arsenal will make an offer for Orlando City’s Facundo Torres this January.
The Uruguayan forward has joined the MLS side earlier this year and has since bagged 13 goals and 10 assists in 40 matches across all competitions.
The Gunners are considering a bid for the 22-year-old forward when the January window opens.
Mikel Arteta has been planning to bolster his attacking options and would be handed £50m to spend in the winter window.
Torres’ agent Edgardo Lasalvia has confirmed interest from Arsenal and several other clubs in Europe.
Orlando technical director Ricardo Moreira does not intend to sell of one of their prized assets this January window.
“We see [Facundo’s] growth into the league, his understanding of the league, his understanding of the physicality and speed required has been amazing,” Moreira told mlssoccer.com.
“He’s a guy where all I have to say is that the sky is the limit. Kudos to the Wilf family (Orlando’s owners), who helped us doing such an investment because I think it’s all paying off. There’s more to come from him and I hope we can stay with Facundo as long as we can.”
