Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a January move for Real Madrid forward Endrick as they look to cover for Bukayo Saka’s injury absence.
talkSPORT says the Gunners are keen to bolster their attacking options, with the 20-year-old Brazil international having played just 114 minutes for Real this season.
Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is said to have a good relationship with the agency that represents Endrick – the same firm that looks after his Real team-mate Vinicius Junior.
But the Gunners face competition. Spanish newspaper AS reports that Roma and Sporting are both keen to take Endrick on loan until the end of the season, although the player is apparently not yet ready to give up on his Real Madrid career.
And he is not the only option being considered. According to the Independent, Arsenal are also looking at Atletico Madrid’s Spain midfielder Alex Baena, RB Leipzig’s Norway winger Antonio Nusa and Bournemouth’s French forward Eli Junior Kroupi.
talkSPORT claims Kroupi would be Mikel Arteta’s first choice – but Bournemouth have made it clear the 20-year-old is not for sale.
