When you think of a winger, the image of a small, nippy player with lightning feet probably springs to mind. And although the recent signing of Nacer Chadli at Tottenham proves that not all wide men are little whippets, the man who the Mirror are reporting to be a target for Arsenal certainly falls into that category.
Teen sensation Angel Correa currently plies his trade with San Lorenzo in his homeland Argentina but is now at the centre of a European battle for his signature, if you believe the stories.
The 18-year-old is a tricky player who stands at just 5ft9, and despite his age he is really lighting up the Argentine leagues with his flair. He has the speed, the technique and the willingness to destroy a defender’s confidence.
It’s rare that a player so young holds the confidence to demand the ball and ghost between the lines, ripping open pockets of space with his creativity, but he does.
It seems as though Arsenal, Inter and Atletico Madrid are the three clubs searching for his services and the former could make a bid for the £4.5m-rated winger.
Correa played 13 games for San Lorenzo last term and scored four goals.
