Arsenal consider January swoop for Colombia ace

Arsenal are reportedly mulling over a January move for Colombia international Felipe Pardo.

The Premier League side, who remain joint-leaders of the English top-flight after rescuing a point against Tottenham [1-1] in the North London derby yesterday, are said to be interested in the Olympiacos winger following his impressive displays in the Champions League this campaign.

The 25-year-old, who earned his first international call-up earlier this month, has scored three goals in four appearances in the European competition so far this season, including one strike in the Greek outfit’s 3-2 win at the Emirates Stadium back in September.

With fellow wingers Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain currently sidelined through injury, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is thought to be interested in bolstering his attacking options with the arrival of Colombian Pardo during the January transfer window.
