Italian news outlet Tuto Mercato Web reports that the North London outfit Arsenal have been able to send their scouts to watch the player twice and are satisfied with the reports that have been submitted of Francisco Trincao.

Having featured in the U19 team at the national side, Francisco Trincao has been able to deliver 7 goals in 13 appearances which make him the player of the now and the future.

With the North London side finding it difficult to access fund for transfer dealings this winter transfer window, Francisco Trincao would be a good deal as he will be relatively cheap to buy owing to his young age.

However, the Gunners will face a lot of competition for the signature of Francisco Trincao who is also attracting a number of interests from the Italian Serie A outfits.
