According to reports from Italy and Sky Sports Italia, Fiorentina's 25 year old Colombian winger Juan Guillermo Cuadrado has emerged as a transfer target for Arsenal as they look to improve on their attacking options.

Juan Cuadrado who has just arrived in Fiorentina on a permanent transfer after being on loan last year, has had an outstanding start to the season, with 3 goals and 2 assists so far. Cuadrado is known for being a highly versatile player. His favoured position is on the right wing but Cuadrado can play all positions on the right hand side, even as a right back. He has also shown that he's capable of playing on the left side, scoring 2 goals as a left winger in Fiorentina against Chievo. He is also a decent right back, and good defensively as well. His stamina is one of the things which makes him such a great player as he races down the flanks non-stop during every game.

Cuadrado joined Fiorentina from Udinese this and is a tricky winger with great dribbling abilities, extreme pace and is a good crosser, and a excellent finisher as well.

Reports claim that an initial bid from Arsenal was rejected but the apparent interest from Arsenal should be quite serious as Arsenal's transfer fixer Dick Law was accompanied by Cuadrado's agent Alessandro Lucci during Fiorentina's game against Chievo, and Dick Law was most likely not disappointed with Cuadrado's two fine goals.

Colombian national Juan Cuadrado who has 20 caps for Colombia to his name and will most likely be a part of Colombia's squad in Brazil next summer, would certainly add some more offensive options for Arsenal on the wing, and would add a great amount of quality as well.

Despite Fiorentina having paid only £4m for Cuadrado this summer, it is most likely that his price tag will be around £20 million
