Arsenal Move For Agentine Ace
Arsenal have open talks with Argentine Midfielder Augusto Fernandez after the River Plate winger was allowed to talk to clubs from Europe.
The Guardian reported today River Plate winger Augusto Fernanadez is in talks with English Giants Arsenal over a possible transfer to the Emirates Stadium.
His agent Pablo Sabagg said ” We are currently in talks with Arsenal who have shown the strongest interest in Augusto but Getafe and Benfica are also in the race.”
It was rumoured last summer The Gunners were on the verge of bringing the young talent to london after Wenger was quoted as saying ” I am a strong admirer of Augusto and I have been tracking him for quite some time now.”
Augusto Fernandez, who has a $17million (£8.5million) release clause on his contract has been allowed to speak to clubs from Europe.
Fernandez can operate on either wing and can play right along the midfield line. He also can play in the striking role but prefers to play in a CAM ( Central Attacking Midfield) or FW (Forward Winger).
