Cristian Pavon's Agent Shoots Down Arsenal Rumours, Says He Wants Boca Stay

Cristian Pavon's agent has distanced his client from a move to Arsenal and said there's "nothing official" from the Gunners, adding that the winger wants to stay at Boca Juniors for the upcoming season.

The 22-year-old was linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in January, but Fernando Hidalgo dismissed talk of a renewed effort when he told Radio La Red (h/t MailOnline's Robert Cottingham): "There is still nothing official from Arsenal. Pavon informed Boca's hierarchy about his desire to stay and play in the Copa Libertadores."

Pavon was a part of Jorge Sampaoli's Argentina squad at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and started in last week's round-of-16 defeat to France.
