It is understood that PSG centre forward Ezequiel Lavezzi is Arsenal’s top target for up front.

This is after receiving impressive feedback from chief scout Steve Rowley.

Media reports suggest that PSG will listen to offers of around £15 million however; they will have to beat off competition from Chelsea.

Although Lavezzi is not prolific he can play in all 3 positions across the front.  Lavezzi had been impressive when playing for Napoli as he was touted by a lot of clubs, in 156 appearances for Napoli he scored 38 goals as well as contributing to 40 assists.

Lavezzi’s current stats at PSG read 60 appearances scoring 12 goals and contributing 11 assists.

Although, I would prefer Mario Balotelli, Lavezzi would be a welcomed boost and has a better temperament.

At the moment I believe it is all talk however, hopefully there will be some developments.
