Arsenal have been linked with a transfer move for rising Watford star Yaser Asprilla in recent weeks and now the 20-year-old’s agent has spoken out to address the links with the Premier League outfit.
The winger was one of the Championship’s stand out stars last season and is believed to have caught the interest of several suitors ahead of the summer transfer window, including La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Arsenal had been linked with a move for the star, who Football League World reports is valued at £40 million, with the Gunners supposedly fans of his potential. Watford are said to be keen to keep the player at Vicarage Road with his contract running for another two years, but a lofty bid would surely be food for thought for the Championship club.
“Arsenal have never asked me a question. These are things that the media is putting out.”
Asprilla came under huge praise from Jake Livermore earlier this season, complementing his development under former manager Valerian Ismael. He told SkyBet: “There’s no doubt about it, he [Yaser Asprilla] has fantastic ability, and it’s a pleasure to play alongside him. The manager has got the best out of him, which is difficult at such a young age and when games come thick and fast.
