In the past year, we’ve seen several reports from Brazil and Portugal saying Arsenal have been interested in Porto’s PepĂȘ.
So as the Gunners had a scout watching Porto’s performance against Inter Milan in the Champions League, it’s hard not to think about this chase.
It’s newspaper A Bola who report that Arsenal had an official present, even though there were no details about who their exact target is.
When Arsenal started being linked to PepĂȘ, the player was still a winger. Now, he ended up being adapted to a right-back, and is actually doing well there.
The Brazilian is valued by Transfermarkt at âŹ22m, and is protected by a âŹ75m release clause.
Arsenal had also been linked to Mehdi Taremi this season, but that was mentioned as a potential emergency signing due to the injury of Gabriel Jesus.
With the Brazilian striker now recovered, we’d need to wait and see if the Gunners would still chase the Iranian.
