With Edu Gaspar still at the helm of transfer business at Arsenal, seeing the Gunners linked with Brazilians isn’t really a surprise.
The latest that can be added to a long list is Lucas Paqueta, who has been on the radar of Premier League clubs for a while now, ever since he made his breakthrough at Milan (and perhaps even before).

Having scored eight goals in 29 appearances for the French side, there’s certainly a player in there to help Mikel Arteta’s side, which is why, three days later, the same website reckon Arsenal are ‘ready to challenge’ the Parisians for the 24-year-old in an equally as short article.

Just a word of friendly advice for any Arsenal fans who might have been getting excited about it all, that’s all.
