Gunners also tried to bring Pedro to the club in January.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger attempted to bring another Barcelona winger to the Emirates Stadium in the summer along with Alexis Sanchez, but the Gunners’ move for Spanish international Pedro was blocked by Nou Camp manager Luis Enrique, according to Marca.

Despite keeping him at the Catalan side, however, Enrique has not used Pedro particularly regularly so far this season, leading to suggestions that the club’s youth product would again look to leave in January in an attempt to secure more frequent action.
With Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi leading the attack at the club it is hard to see Pedro starting too many more than the two La Liga games he has so far this season, with Arsenal now linked with a £26m move.
