The agent of Velez Sarsfield striker Maxi Romero has hailed the 16 year-old's talent.

Arsenal are in advanced talks to sign the young forward.

Roly Zarate declared: "He has enormous potential: we were in London to talk about Arsenal's offer, which I reported to president Gamez.

"The Gunners accepted our terms, that is, that the player remains with Velez for another two years."

Zarate is the older brother of West Ham United striker Mauro Zarate.
