Arsenal have reportedly held talks with the representatives of Boca Juniors winger Cristian Pavon.
Argentinian journalist Luis Fregossi reports that Chelsea have also met with Pavon’s agents in an attempt to take him to West London.

The 22-year-old was in fine form as Boca secured the Argentinian title by two points, scoring six goals and providing 11 assists for his teammates.
He initially joined the club four years ago when he was just 18 for a reported fee of around €1.3m.
It is believed that Arsenal boss Unai Emery is keen to add to his attacking options, having already signed right-back Stephan Lichsteiner and with centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos also close to an Emirates move.
Any move for the Argentinian will likely have to wait until after the World Cup, as Pavon has been called up to Jorge Sampaoli’s 23-man squad.
