Lacazette and Aubameyang had a reason to worry over Arsenal links with Miguel Almiron

Twenty-five-year-old Miguel Almiron, who is currently playing for MLS side Atlanta United has attracted interest of Premier League clubs. Arsenal are strong admirers and there were reports in October that the Gunners were lining up an £11million move for Almiron in January. But if the deal is signed Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be licking their lips as he is player of high profile and could be a first choice under Unai Emery. Martinez has 33 goals to his name this season, in 36 appearances for Atlanta United, firing them to second place in the Eastern Conference and the semi-finals, where they beat New York City FC. When heard the Paraguayan midfielder will play in the Premier League, Atlanta president Darren Eales has scoffed at the price tag saying it would cost "at least triple that to even think about it".
