Arsenal<\/a> have won all their matches this season in all competitions so far and are the top favourites to defend the Premier League<\/a> title, while also hoping to go the distance in the Champions League<\/a> after finishing as runner-ups in 2025\/26.<\/p>\n With Mikel Arteta<\/a> continuing his pursuit of more silverware, newer signings, particularly those with more experience in a successful culture will be vital and the board is already drawing up plans over an audacious transfer<\/a> in 2027.<\/p>\n Ekrem Konur has reported<\/a> that the Gunners are pondering over a swoop for Paris Saint-Germain central defender Willian Pacho, who was instrumental to the Ligue 1 outfit winning consecutive Champions League titles under Luis Enrique.<\/p>\n Besides Arsenal, there is also interest from Manchester City<\/a> in the Ecuadorian international\u2019s services, according to the journalist, with the 24-year-old valued at \u00a369 million on Transfermarkt<\/a> and a contract at PSG that runs until June 2031.<\/p>\n Over recent months, Willian Pacho has emerged as one of the best central defenders in the world and has leveraged his partnership with Marquinhos to develop himself into an all-round player at the back.<\/p>\n Pacho has excellent mobility despite a height of over six feet, fast recovery speed and strong tackling as well as physical prowess. He is sound with the ball at his feet and has a wide range of passing to build up from the back.<\/p>\n However, it remains to be seen if Arsenal are indeed willing to compete with Manchester City for the Paris Saint-Germain star\u2019s transfer, which will cost them a significant amount of money, especially on a position where they have great quality already.<\/p>\nSuperb signing for Arsenal but proposition remains unlikely<\/h2>\n
