The report states that Pineda is prepared to considered a move to the English top-flight.

But the talented 24-year-old rejected the chance to join Manchester City in 2014.

Instead, he left Guadalajara for Cruz Azul in a deal worth more than £10million.



All seven of the interested Premier League clubs have sent scouts to watch him this year.

Perida has chipped in with eight goals and seven assists in 86 appearances for Cruz Azul.

And it’s not only teams from England that have noticed Pineda’s promising performances.

Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, Porto and Monaco have also been linked to the versatile winger.

Pineda remains under contract with the Mexican club until December 2021.

As well as considering a move for Pineda, Arsenal continue to be linked to Samuel Chukwueze.

But league rivals Manchester United and Chelsea are also monitoring the Villarreal star.

And Ian Wright has urged his former club to chase Houssem Aouar to pair up with Thomas Partey.
