Arsenal are set to have a £33m bid for Villarreal winger Yeremy Pino accepted, despite bidding less than half of his release clause, according to reports.
Mikel Arteta’s side have launched an ambitious offer for the 19-year-old, with the Spain international having a release clause of £67.5m.
Pino is one of the La Liga’s most exciting prospects and Liverpool were also interested in the youngster, but Arsenal are the first club to make a move.
According to Spanish outlet AS, Villarreal are likely to accept Arsenal’s lower offer, at a value of less than half Pino’s release clause, in order to solve ‘economic problems’ at the club.
