Arsenal have reportedly made contact with the father of 17-year-old Penarol youngster Facundo Pellistri.
According to reports in Spain from AS, as cited on Sport Witness, Arsenal, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are all keen. The latter are said to be at the front of the queue as things stand.
Pellistri is said to be regarded as one of the more promising talents coming through Uruguay at the minute.
As per the report, there is no word on how much a potential deal for Pellistri could cost yet.

Pellistri could be the next young star on Arsenal’s radar. The summer addition of Gabriel Martinelli has sparked renewed belief that the club can bring through and attract some top quality youngsters.
They will of course face some stiff competition from two of the biggest sides in Spain, but any youngsters looking at Arsenal will be able to take hope from Martinelli’s emergence this season.
To see how the Brazilian has been given plenty of opportunities will certainly carry some weight for any young player being linked with a move to the Emirates.
