Arsenal are closely scouting Brazilian ‘wonderkid’ with £66m release clause

Arsenal’s recruitment during Edu Gaspar’s reign has been exceptional.

During the summer, Arsenal added Ricc꧟ardo Calafiori, Mikel Merino and Raheem Sterling to their ranks, spending a total of £90m.

After an indifferent start to the season, which has seen them drop needless points due to disciplinary issues, T🤡he Gunners are already identifying targets ahead of the January trans🍸fer window.

Arsenal closely scouting Luighi

According to Spanish outlet , Arsenal are closely scout𝓀ing Brazilian wonderkid Luighi ahead of the January transfer window.

Luighi, who’s been labelled a ‘won�ও�derkid’ per , has enjoyed a prolific season with Palmeiras’ under-20s, netting nine goals in 19 appearances and he’s already scored for the seniors, too.

The teenage striker is considered by some at the club to be better than Endrick – who completed a b🥂ig money move to Real Madrid in the summer.

Arsenal face competition f𝐆rom other 🦩clubs around Europe but it appears they’re interest is the most genuine, as they tried to close a deal for him earlier this year.

﷽It’s thought Luighi has a £66m release clause in his Palmeiras contract.

Arsenal should sign the finished article

It’s evident Arsenal are lacki༒ng a specialist number nine, so rather than signing an 18-year-old who will need time to develop, they should sign the finished article.

Sp🍎ortinꩵg’s Viktor Gyokeres would be perfect, however, his signature would come at a heavy cost, indeed.

In fact, TBR reported last week that Sporting would not allow Gyokeres to leave in Jan🐼uary unless his £85m release clause was activated.

♏So it’ll certainly be a diffic👍ult Janaury window to navigate for Arsenal.
