Report – Arsenal Scouts Observed Inter Milan Linked Como Prodigy Vs Atalanta
Arsenal sent scouts to watch Inter Milan transfer target Nico Paz in last weekend’s Serie A clash between Como and Atalanta.
Per Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Gunners’ emissaries were at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia to monitor the Argentine starlet.
Mikel Arteta is seemingly a fan of Nico Paz.
His scouts attended Saturday’s match between Como and Atalanta and must have returned to London with rave reviews.
Indeed, the 20-year-old opened the scoring with a scintillating finish.
Unfortunately for Paz, Atalanta turned the game on its head after the halftime interval.
But his individual brilliance came to the fore despite Como’s loss.

Arsenal’s involvement in the race could complicate Inter’s quest to lure the talented forward to the San Siro.
However, the reigning Scudetto holders have taken precautionary measures to secure an upper hand.
Indeed, Javier Zanetti recently had a dinner with Paz’s father, Pablo, to lay the groundwork for his arrival.
Meanwhile, Piero Ausilio is working around the clock to find common ground with his entourage.
The only stumbling block could be Real Madrid.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men can bring Paz back to the Santiago Bernabeu for a meager €12 million at the end of the season.
