Arsenal have reportedly been interested in signing 18-year-old Brazilian wonderkid Luighi Hanri Sousa Santos from Palmeiras.
According to a report by Spanish publication Sport via Sport Witness, Arsenal have been trying to get a deal done for Brazilian attacker Luighi Hanri Sousa Santos, and it will be interesting to see if they can sign him in the coming months.
Apparently, the wonderkid has a release clause worth €80 million, and it is unlikely that Arsenal will pay that kind of money for the talented young attacker. Even though Luighi is a prodigious talent, he is largely unproven at the highest level and Arsenal will be hoping to sign him for a more reasonable price.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks. Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them will be quite attractive for the Brazilian attacking sensation and he will be tempted to join them.
Luighi could be tempted to join Arsenal
A move to England could be an excellent opportunity for Luighi. It will allow him to test himself against top-quality players, and regular exposure to English football could accelerate his development. The Brazilian will want to fulfil his potential and play for a big club in the near future, and Arsenal could provide him with that platform.
The Gunners are currently fighting for league titles, and they are looking to build a formidable side for the future. Signing talented young players with potential for improvement is a sustainable way of improving the squad, and it remains to be seen whether Arsenal can find a way to get the deal done.
The attacker could develop into a key player for the club with the right guidance, and he will certainly look to establish himself as a first-team member as well. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has done well to nurture talented young players in recent seasons, and he could play a key role in the development of the South American as well.
If Arsenal can sign for a reasonable price in the coming months, he could prove to be a solid long-term investment for them. Meanwhile, Arsenal are also interested in other Palmeiras prodigies, including Vitor Reis.
