Arsenal are preparing a January bid for Celta Vigo striker Nolito.

The Mirror says Arsene Wenger is weighing up a £14million January bid for Celta Vigo striker Nolito.

Spain international Nolito - whose full name is Manuel Agudo Duran - has got a buy-out clause in his contract which expires in 2017.

Gunners boss Wenger is looking to strengthen his strike force after being left frustrated in the transfer market last summer.

Wenger has now detailed scouts to watch 28-year-old Nolito and they are well aware of his contract situation and Celta Vigo may be ready to sell with his deal running down.
