Arsenal are boosted with the news that Pablo Fornals is open to a move from Villarreal.

Previous news in the English media had stated that Gunners boss Unai Emery wanted to sign Fornals.

And now a report in Spanish paper Sport suggests that Fornals is tempted to leave Villarreal in January for the north London club.

The report suggests that while Fornals has no issues at Villarreal, he knows the size of a club like Arsenal and would be unable to turn them down.

The 22-year-old versatile midfielder has a buyout clause of £36 million (€40m).
