And while the price is a big one, the move could be pushed along by the fact sources say Pavon wants to move to London.
The 5ft 7ins star was dogged by hamstring trouble in the Copa Libertadores final which Boca lost.
But when fully fit he's renowned for his pace and Emery thinks he will give Arsenal more of an attacking edge.

Pavon's agents have already been in contact with several top clubs in Europe as they look to get their man a big move.
Pavon joined Boca in 2014 for £1million but his value has sky-rocketed after he turned heads in South America.
Pavon helped Boca win the Argentine Primera Division twice in the last two seasons.

He has been capped 11 times by the national side.
