Some Arsenal fans are fuming over some brand new transfer rumours.

The Gunners are in the market for some additional firepower this winter after Mikel Arteta’s side netted 12 goals in their first 14 Premier League games this season.

And according to The Daily Star, Arsenal are interested in signing Real Madrid starlet Vinicius Junior.

The report adds that Vinicius can play anywhere across the front three and that Unai Emery wanted him at the Emirates Stadium during his stint in North London.

The 20-year-old has managed only three goals and three assists in 19 appearances across all competitions this season.

And suffice to say that quite a lot of Arsenal fans aren’t keen on the idea of signing him at all.

Here’s how they’re reacting to the rumour on Twitter:

Are Arsenal fans right to be displeased? Well, without being harsh on the player, but yes.

If we’re honest, the Londoners don’t need firepower so much as they need midfield spark.

With Mesut Ozil exiled, Arsenal just aren’t creating any chances for the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or Alexandre Lacazette and that, really, is the main problem – and it’s a problem Vinicius isn’t going to solve.
