Arsenal are preparing a £24m summer move for forgotten Barcelona winger Pedro, according to reports.

The 27-year-old has struggled for game time at Camp Nou this season due to the arrival of Luis Suarez a year ago, and is expected to leave for a fresh challenge this summer.

The Express reports that Gunners manager Arsene Wenger is keen to add more pace to his forward line and has a long-standing interest in the Spanish international.

Wenger reportedly enquired about Pedro last summer and believes that he has a strong chance of getting him this year, although Chelsea have also been heavily linked.

Pedro has scored 10 times for Barcelona this season.
