From all the Premier League clubs who’ve recently been linked to Athletico Paranaense starlet Vitor Roque, Arsenal were probably the side with the strongest claims.
Since February, several stories claimed the Gunners are acting to get the signing done, with Edu Gasparin touch with the 18-year-old’s entourage.
Now it seems Arsenal are taking a step forward in their pursuit, because they’ve reportedly met the player’s staff in London. That’s written by Globo Esporte.
When in England, they met Arsenal, who are one of the clubs interested in signing the teenager in the summer window, even though there’s no sign of a bid for now.
By being in this race for a long time, the Gunners probably know how much Vitor Roque will cost. And that won’t be cheap, as his staff and his club expect him to move for over €42m.
Globo Esporte say no bids are on the table for now, but Barcelona and two Premier League sides already have promised their offers are arriving in the summer window.
