Arsenal supremo Dick Law has flown to Argentina in an attempt to rubber-stamp the capture of Maxi Romero.
The
club's chief negotiator has jetted to South America to finalise a deal
for the 16-year-old forward - who has been compared to Lionel Messi.
The Gunners are in advanced talks with Velez Sarsfield over a £4.5million swoop for the teenage sensation
But the deal
has been held up by red-tape over the make-up of Romero's ownership
rights - and Law has travelled to Argentina to resolve the issues.
Romero's agents and his club Velez both own stakes in the player, which is causing complications for Arsenal.
The
Premier League have strict rules regarding third-party ownership and
the issue must be settled before he can play for the Gunners.
Romero
is expected to remain with Velez, on loan, for at least two more
seasons before coming to England to begin his career with Arsenal.
The youngster is yet to make his senior debut for Velez, but has trained regularly with the first team
The Argentine wonderkid has been dubbed the next Lionel Messi and would stay at Velez on loan
