Arsenal are in hot pursuit of Roma midfielder Leandro Paredes and according to reports in Leggo, the giallorossi are considering sending the 22-year-old Argentine to the Premier League.
 

The journal claims that coach Arsene Wenger is ready to make a €15 million offer to secure the players services, reports that are backed up by both The Mirror and The Sun in the UK. Paredes has been a great form since he returned to the Eternal City in the summer after a season-long loan-spell at Empoli and is even winning the battle for a midfield place over Dutch international Kevin Strootman.
 

Roma boss Luciano Spalletti has constantly stated that the youngster is a vital part of his side after seeing off the summer advances of Chelsea. Bound by financial fair-play restrictions, the giallorossi are always vulnerable to offers for some of their top stars and this latest one from North London may be one they cannot afford to turn down.
