Hi Guys,
Long time reader first time poster.

Can anybody answer a question for me please?
What happened with the young Argentine we were chasing toward the end of last season? Maxi Romero. Googleing him hasn't helped as everything about the deal runs cold around April 16 and that's that.

From a host of articles over a few weeks to total silence. I can;t even find articles that say we lost interest or a deal fell through the story just went away overnight.

thanks guys

{Ed002's Note - Maxi Romero is a child who could not move for, realistically, two years. He also has a very bad injury that would need fixing before any move to Arsenal.}

Ed thanks for the comprehensive up date below.
The papers today are suggesting Aubameyang as an alternative if Benzema is not available. Is this just paper talk or is it a possibility?

{Ed002's Note - There is remaining interest in Aubameyang from Juventus, Real Madrid and Roma and, unconfirmed, one or both of the Milan clubs might show an interest if available (and Dortmund are happy to see the back of him, but only at a high price - and I think that will block a move this summer). The player has made it clear that he would like to move to Italy. However, that has not deterred Spurs who have had scouts at games late last season. Arsenal and Valencia also had him watched earlier in the season so interest is possible. Dortmund will keep him rather than let hm leave cheaply. He meets the three criteria for Liverpool to make a move (a) he has a clear desire to play elsewhere, (b) he is very expensive, and (c) he has a stupid hair cut.

Not out of the question, but probably very dumb - plenty of luggage.}
