According to Brazilian journalist Bruno Andrade, Arsenal are interested in the young winger Savio Morella de Oliveira, a young winger at Brazilian club Atlético Mineiro.

Bruno Andrade wrote that Arsenal, along with Brazilian club Bragantino Red Bull, have shown interest in 17-year-old winger Savio.

Red Bull Bragantino has offered him a BRL 30m (£4m) offer, but was rejected by Atlético Mineiro, who in turn welcomed Arsenal's interest in the teenager.

Despite his young age, Savio has already made double-double appearances in Athletic Mineiro's senior team. Given the team's outstanding performances over the past year, it's not easy to do that.

Savio's side won the 2021 Brazilian League, Copa do Brasil and Minas State League titles and reached the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores, only to be eliminated for fewer away goals.

It's no surprise that Savio hasn't yet become a starter, and it's already great that he's been able to get so many appearances.

There are clearly some additional factors behind Arsenal's interest in the young Brazilian teenager, such as the appearance of Edu, the operator behind the scenes, and the success of bringing in Martinelli.

Arsenal need to pay a transfer fee of more than £5 million for the 17-year-old, and in his position Arsenal have hoarded a number of young players.

The right winger already has two youngsters, Saka and Hutchinson, so it remains to be seen how that goes.

Arsenal have already started further talks with Artur's agent to try to complete the deal on loan with Juve midfielders.

The Goals Net reported arsenal were redoubling their efforts to sign Artur from Juve, negotiating with the player's agent on Wednesday.

Arsenal's technical director Edu spoke face-to-face with Federico Pastorello in London's Kearney, hoping to see some progress in the negotiations with Juve.

The Gunners want to go on loan to Artur until the end of the season, and the players are interested in that. But Juve don't want to release people without a replacement.

Romano said artur's agent met with Arsenal and Juve asked for an 18-month loan plus a buyout clause instead of a six-month loan contract. He added that an agreement had not yet been reached.

Juve clearly want a longer-term guarantee from Artur's plan so they can have more money to find a replacement.

From Arsenal's perspective, including the option to buy out isn't a bad thing. These choices usually benefit the Buyer's Club, and you can choose not to activate this clause.

But an 18-month loan contract may be less popular with Arteta, who may be inclined to make decisions about the player's future in the summer window – either by bringing him in as a permanent transfer or looking for other long-term solutions.
