Arsenal lead race for the next biggest Brazil star

With the summer transfer window months away from reopening, the North London outfit Arsenal are already being linked with a number of players to snap them up.

The Gunners were unable to strike enough deals owing to the financial situation at the club as they were only able to snap up Denis Suarez from Spanish La Liga outfit Barcelona in the last winter transfer window.

However, it has been hinted that the North London outfit will strike a number of deals in the coming summer window so as to improve the team and be able to compete against big sides for the EPL title next season.
