Nolito could be heading to the Emirates Stadium
Arsenal are ready to beat Liverpool and FC Barcelona to the signing of Celta Vigo striker Nolito, according to reports.
The star-striker has been in superb form so far in La Liga, scoring five goals in six games and also providing three assists for the Spanish outfit.
Celta Vigo have had a dream start to the league campaign, sitting fourth in the table and also thumping Barca 4-1 at home the other week, and after a stand-out start, interest in Nolito is high.
Interest in Nolito
According to Fichajes, Arsenal are ready to meet the striker’s buy-out clause which is believed to be just over ÂŁ13million.
However, they will face serious competition from Premier League rivals Liverpool and Champions League winners Barcelona, whom are both reportedly keen on signing the striker.
Arsenal are desperate for more attacking options with just Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud the recognised strikers at the club, and Nolito could be the perfect addition in the New Year.
