Álvaro Vadillo

As Arseblog News reported previously, Arsenal are close to agreeing a formal tie-up with Real Betis.
With Joel Campbell currently on loan there, and the La Liga club keen to keep him for another season, discussions have taken place between the two clubs about a more authoritative partnership.
This would see the Andalusian club get a pick of promising Arsenal youngsters to take on loan, with names like Serge Gnabry and Tomas Eisfeld mentioned as possible candidates.
As well as that, Arsenal would like a bit of ying to the yang, and reports in Spain suggest that as part of the deal, the Gunners want a first option clause for exciting youngster Álvaro Vadillo.
The left winger has recently come back from a cruciate ligament injury but has made 11 appearances this season. Last year, he became the second youngest player to ever make a debut in La Liga aged 16 years, 11 months.
Vadillo has a contract until 2016, with a €20m buy-out clause, and while a deal is in no way imminent, Arsenal will be monitoring his progress closely.

Looks a very bright player on the few occasions I've seen him, we will do well to use this deal to snap up talents like him and more established players too.

Would welcome a young talent like Vadillo here, but only if we can do a deal at a reasonable price. Hasn't shown enough for us to trigger his release clause.

First player I'd want from them would be Benat.

"Wooed by several European top clubs, Spanish Under-20 international winger and half-forward Alavro Vadillo (18) is getting more and more likely to join Arsenal, according to several off-the-record sources. Currently on a deal with Real Betis Seville until June 2016, Iberian talent's second next suitor are Tottenham, but Gunners seem to have got a considerable lead over Sp**s."

I know their is no strong links but its still a rumour that hasn't been dusted under the rug yet. Any one seen this kid play or know about him?

I don't see why they call him "the new C. Ronaldo" — he doesn't have the athleticism, size, or power of Ronaldo (which is a big part of his game), and he's not even Portuguese.
