Arsenal are reportedly looking into a potential deal for Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior in the summer transfer window.
The Brazil international has entered the last 12 months of his contract with Los Blancos and could leave on a free transfer next summer.
The 26-year-old joined the Spanish club from Flamengo in 2018, registerings 212 goal involvements in 373 appearances in all competitions.

According to The Athletic, Arsenal are “exploring a move” to sign Vinicius if Real fail to extend his contract.
The Gunners’ interest in the forward is still at an “early stage” and there has been no direct contact between the two clubs, but the idea has been approved “at all levels” within the north London outfit.
The report adds that there has been no breakthrough in negotiations over a new contract for Vinicius. Real would be unwilling to lose one of their key players for nothing, which would be compounded by the fact he is due a loyalty bonus next year.
