Arsenal eye Nolito

The Gunners are ready to signal their intent to sign Celta Vigo striker Nolito by meeting his £13million buy-out clause, according to Fichajes.

Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud are the only two recognised strikers at the club and Wenger is desperate for someone to provide them with competition.

Liverpool and Barcelona are also believed to be interested in the 28-year-old, who has been in fine form this season, netting five goals in six games.

Celta Vigo manager Eduardo Berizzo has seen his side make a promising start, picking up four wins in their first six games, including a 4-1 demolition of Barcelona.
