Arsenal are reportedly interested in bringing Vinicius Jr to the Emirates Stadium on loan next month, 🦩according to the .

The Gunners are in dire straits at present, having lost eight of their 14 Premier League games so far anꦦd struggling in the lower reaches of the table.

Arsenal are currently 15th in the rankings, just four points clear of the bottom three, and at present they’re struggling to create🦄 chances, never m🌠ind win games.

With the January window coming u🐼p, Vinicius has reportedly been earmarked as a potential candidate to bolster the Gunners’ attacking ranks.

According to the Daily Star, Real Madrid have decided to listen to offers for the 20-year-old next month a✨nd are open to sending him out on l൩oan.

Vinicius has been at the Bernabeu since 2018 and has made 87 appearances for ꦜLos Blancos, including 18 this season, and has registered three goals and three assists.

He has come in for huge praise in the past – former Brazil strꦯiker Edmundo once he could be the “new Neymar”.

And Brazil boss Tite has : “He is a player of openness, bre꧋adth, 🦩edge, outside [and] one on one [skills]. He has extraordinary physical virtues.

“If a normal car has five gears, he has six ꦰor seven! The torque, the acceleration, the one against one – [it] is impressive.”

TBR View:

Arsenal are certainly in dire ne🀅ed of more creativity in attac💃k, and a player like Vinicius seems to fit the bill.

The Gunners apparently trie🦹d to sign him while Unai Emery was in charge, and they’re said to retain a good relationship with his agent.

However, would Real be willing to pꦰart ways with him mid-season, given he’s getting a fair bit of game time and isn’t exactly doing badly? This remai♛ns to be seen.
