Arsenal are reportedly ready to spend £31million on Palermo startlet Paulo Dybala according to the Daily Star.
With six goals and two assists in 13 appearances this season, Dybala has caught the eye of several of Europe’s top clubs this season.
The Gunners are in no immediate need for another forward, but the club will always be on the lookout for top attacking talent, as is the clubs style. With Tomas Rosicky and Lukas Podolski seemingly coming towards the end of their time at the club, perhaps Dybala could be a replacement for one of them?
The rumour comes from the Star who are far from being the most reliable source, but the story does cite sources in Italy. It’s fair to say that a deal for Dybala is extremely unlikely in January but could be more plausible at the end of the season.
Arsene Wenger had previously stated that he feels the best forwards are from South America. With the likes of Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero starring in the Premier League, you can see where he’s coming from.
Wenger had also tried to sign Luis Suarez last year and recently managed to seal the deal for Alexis Sanchez. Could Dybala be the next South American he goes all out for?
