Arsenal could finally get their hands on one of their top targets when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.
Brazilian international Alexandre Pato, who is currently plying his trade at Sao Paolo on loan from Corinthians, is believed to be open to a move back to Europe in January.
According to Italian agent Nicola Guiliani, the former AC Milan star is in tip-top condition having rebuilt his career over the past 12 months at Sao Paolo.
He adds that the 25-year-old is likely to be on the reckoning for the Brazilian national side in their next outing and this could play a huge part in the player's return to big-stage football.
Arsenal are understood to be monitoring the proceedings.
