Can Arsenal sign Fernandes-Pardo?
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal are prepared to pay big money for him. They need to find an upgrade in Noni Madueke. The versatile 21-year-old could be an ideal signing.

They are close to the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League trophy. By improving the quality of your team, you can maintain your current running form. The 21-year-old attacker would be a great long-term investment.
Manchester City are also looking to add a cutting-edge player to their final third, and it will be interesting to see if they can beat Arsenal with the signing of Fernandes-Pardo.
The 21-year-old attacker has eight goals and seven assists this season. His numbers could improve next season if he plays alongside top players at Arsenal and Manchester City.
