Arsenal and Manchester United are both keen on a move for Atlanta United midfielder Ezequiel Barco, and the news has gone down pretty well with the Gunners faithful.
The 20-year-old starred for the MLS side this season, scoring four times and providing three assists in 15 appearances.
His impressive displays have seemingly caught the eye of both the Gunners and the Red Devils, who are reportedly weighing up a move for the Argentine.
The news regarding a possible move for the youngster quickly made its way across social media during the week, and plenty of Arsenal fans were excited at the possibility of Barco making the move to the Emirates.

Barco can turn out as a playmaker or on the left, and his versatility could prove to be handy in north London.
The Gunners will need to bring in another attacking midfielder should they miss out on Dani Ceballos’ services on a permanent basis, and his current ability and future potential could make him a shrewd signing.
The South American is clearly a man in demand, so if Arsenal are keen on firming up their interest, they may have to act fast.
