Arsenal begin Facundo Torres January transfer talks amid Edu 'mystery winger' search continues

Arsenal technical director Edu Gaspar has been searching for a 'mystery winger' to add to Mikel Arteta's squad and provide competition for Bukayo Saka.

Shakhtar Donetsk talent Mykhaylo Mudryk remains of interest to the Gunners, but Edu was put off by the Ukrainian outfit's £100million valuation during the summer transfer window. Arsenal hold a long-term interest in Wolves star Pedro Neto, but a move never materialised after the Midlands outfit slapped a £50million price tag on the 22-year-old winger.

Yeremy Pino of Villarreal was another target linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, but once again, the Gunners did not make a move despite the young Spaniard having a release clause in the region of £32million. Edu's search for a new winger to bring into Arteta's squad has now led them to pursue a deal for Orlando City star Facundo Torres.
