According to 90min, Arsenal are one of a number of clubs tracking Cruz Azul midfielder Orbelin Pineda.

What's the word?

The versatile ace has spent his entire playing career thus far in his home country of Mexico, establishing himself at Deportivo Guadalajara, before making the move to Cruz Azul.

Now, 90min claim that Pineda is ready to make the move into European football, and that a host of Premier League scouts are keeping an eye on him ahead of a potential move.

The report claims that along with Arsenal, the likes of Tottenham and Newcastle, among others, are all following the Mexico international.

Shades of Cazorla

At just 5 foot 5, and with the ability to play all across midfield and further forward, there's a lot to be said about Arsenal potentially finding their long-awaited Santi Cazorla replacement in Pineda.

In a "Ones to Watch" article on ESPN, Mexico correspondent, Tom Marshall, wrote: "Technically sharp, skillful and with a turn of pace to burst past opponents, he has an appetite for big games. He appears as relaxed in front of 80,000 people at the Estadio Azteca as he would be back in Guerrero having a kick around with his friends. The fact he has already taken on and succeeded following the crucial move to Chivas -- a big club even by European standards -- also bodes well."

The fact that Spurs are also interested in him, gives Arsenal the perfect opportunity to strike a major blow to Jose Mourinho by pipping their rivals to one of their transfer targets.

As well as landing a creative midfielder, they would be ensuring Spurs don't get him either. Two for the price of one.
