ARSENAL have reportedly tabled a bid for defender Willian Pacho, it’s been claimed.
Pacho, 22, has been a shining light for Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt this season.
And the Ecuadorian’s impressive form is said to have caught the attention of Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

The offer is said to be short of Frankfurt’s valuation of the player, whom they want a minimum of £43m for.
