Taking advantage of the delicate situation surrounding Barcelona's Pedro Rodriguez, the English press are suggesting he could still end up at Arsenal sooner rather than later.

Arsene Wenger's side are said to be keen on signing the forward and would be prepared to pay €25million in January to complete the operation.

The 'Metro' and the 'Daily Mirror' have both suggested this is a decision the London-based club have already taken.

Apparently, the report reads, Pedro has asked Barça to negotiate with the Gunners and any other possible suitors as he is wary he has fallen down the pecking order due to Luis Suarez's signing.

Arsenal were interested in the summer, before eventually landing Alexis Sanchez, who has since become one of their star players.

Wenger is happy with the Chilean international, and the nature of the transfer means he would have no problems trying to do more business with Barça.

Time will tell, though, as it is not yet known whether Barça can sign players while they are banned by FIFA from making signings.
