Colombia defender Pablo Armero ‘wanted by Arsenal and Southampton’

Source: metro.co.uk - Saturday, July 05, 2014 Colombia’s Pablo Armero wants to return to the Premier League next season (Picture: AP) Arsenal and Southampton are reportedly interested in signing Colombia left-back Pablo Armero this summer – with the player keen on returning to the Premier League next season. The 27-year-old Udinese man spent the second part of last term on loan at West Ham and made five Premier League appearances for the east London outfit. With the defender impressing for his national side Colombia at the World Cup in Brazil, ESPN have now reported that several English clubs – including Arsenal and Southampton – are keen on recruiting Armero. The player himself is said to be ‘desperate to get back to the Premier League on a permanent basis’ and could well swap Italy for England in the coming months. Armero – who scored in Colombia’s 3-0 opening World Cup win over Greece in Brazil – was bought outright by Udinese last month after previously being co-owned with Napoli.
