Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly closely monitoring Como attacking midfielder Nico Paz.

Paz joined Como on a four-year deal from Real Madrid in August 2024 and has quickly established himself as a staple of Cesc Fabregas’ midfield, as well as one of the most exciting young talents in Serie A football.

This season, Paz has racked up four goals and four assists in his first seven league matches for Como this season, making him the second-highest scorer – behind only Riccardo Orsolini – and the top assist-maker in Italian top flight.

Though born in Spain, Paz has also forced his way into Argentina reckoning ahead of the 2026 World Cup, with the 21-year-old already capped six times at international level.

According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Italian giants Inter Milan and Juventus are ‘following his path’ with Como, while Arsenal and Chelsea are ‘doing the same’ in the Premier League.
