Arsenal are interested in bringing Matchoi Djalo to the Emirates Stadium this summer, according to The Sun.

The British tabloid are reporting this morning (9:43am) that the teenage winger is available for £1 million, and that Arsenal are considering making a bid.

Arsenal see the 18-year-old winger as a long-term prospect.

Who is Matchoi Djalo?

Djalo is not a household name – yet – but the Portuguese winger is very talented and promising.

After all, if that was not the case, then Arsenal would not have taken an interest in him or considered making an offer.

The teenager made his debut for Pacos de Ferreira in August 2019 when he was just 16.

It shows just how talented Djalo is.

The winger has made five further competitive appearances for the first team.

Djalo is a right-footed winger, but the 18-year-old is able to play in central midfield as well.

He is versatile.

One for the future

Djalo is clearly a player for the future.

And for £1 million, it would be worth taking a risk on the teenager.

Arsenal could get a gem in Djalo, and that too for just £1 million.

Interestingly, Djalo could be the fourth young player to join Arsenal this summer.

Sky Sports have reported that Ben White, 23, will undergo a medical at Arsenal this week.

Left-back Nuno Tavares, 21, and central midfielder Albert Sombi Lokonga, also 21, have moved from Benfica and Anderlecht respectively.
