Arsenal could now move for £58m ‘huge talent’ at the Emirates

Arsenal could turn their attentions towards landing ‘huge talent’ Lucas Paqueta after a busy start to the transfer window has continued at the Emirates Stadium, according to journalist Jacque Talbot.

Oleksandr Zinchenko has joined the Gunners in a £32million deal from Manchester City, taking the north Londoners’ spending beyond the £100million mark, but boss Mikel Arteta could swoop for Lyon star Paqueta ahead of the September 1 deadline.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has previously told GIVEMESPORT that Arsenal technical director Edu knows Paqueta well and has been in contact with his agent.

It is understood that Edu informed his fellow countryman that a formal offer will be tabled as the Gunners are keen to seal his arrival from Lyon.

But Arsenal are not Paqueta’s only suitors as Premier League rivals Newcastle United, along with Serie A giants Roma, have also enquired about the attacking midfielder’s availability.

While Lyon were initially seeking north of £50million for Paqueta’s services, it appears his suitors have received a boost in their summer pursuit.

That is because the Ligue 1 side have slashed their asking price to £34million and Paqueta is keen to seal his exit while Arsenal continue to seek an agreement.

Talbot believes the drop in Paqueta’s price tag could prove crucial in Arsenal’s hunt for the 24-year-old’s signature.

The journalist is a huge admirer of the Gunners’ transfer target and has not ruled out the possibility of him heading to the Emirates Stadium.

Talbot told GIVEMESPORT: “Will Arsenal go for him? Yes, I think it’s been reported that they’re looking at him and he certainly wants a move to the Premier League.

“I think he’s talented enough, but I think he’s going to have to get Lyon to lower
