Arsenal linked with Colombian sensation Juan Fernando Quintero

Porto midfield sensation Juan Fernando Quintero is being linked to Arsenal. The Mirror says the 21-year-old is valued at £16million and rated as one of the most promising players in Europe in his position.

According to Colombian journalist Diego Rueda, Quintero will fly to London on Monday to discuss the possibility of a switch to the Gunners. "The possibility... is real," he tweeted.

The playmaker's rise over the last two years has been rapid. Following a fruitful spell on loan at Pescara, he returned to Portugal last summer and produced a series of dominant displays that earned him a place in the Cafeteros squad for the World Cup.
