Arsenal interested in Vinicius Jr from Real Madrid

Arsenal are exploring a stunning move to sign Vinicius Jr from Real Madrid to bolster Mikel Arteta's attacking options before the new Premier League season begins. The Gunners have already been busy this summer, securing Piero Hincapie, Illan Meslier, and the £34million acquisition of Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge.

While the Gunners have been active, the potential arrival of the Brazil international would be a massive statement of intent. According to reports from The Athletic, the Arsenal hierarchy has registered interest in the winger, and negotiations could be in their early stages.

Will Real Madrid sell Vinicius Jr to Arsenal?

Real Madrid do not plan to lose Vinicius Jr on a free transfer next summer. With only 12 months remaining on his current deal, the Spanish giants are looking to avoid the situation where their star winger walks away for nothing.

No formal contact has been made between the two clubs as of yet, but the Gunners are clearly hungry for more firepower. Wamma! If this deal moves from interest to action, the Premier League won't know what hit it.
