Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the Gunners with Kaiky.

According to Goal Brazil, Arsenal are interested in signing Santos defender Kaiky and have been scouting him.

The report has claimed that the Gunners are facing competition from Dutch club Ajax for the 17-year-old defender, who has a release clause of €70 million (£61.04 million) in his contract that runs until 2023.

Santos have high hopes for the teenager and believe that he is good enough for a big European club, according to the report.

Kaiky is a very talented and promising young defender, but he is only 17 and is not ready for the Arsenal first team yet.

While it is encouraging that the Gunners are scouting such talented young players for the future, for now, the North London club need to focus on the present.

David Luiz is out of contract at Arsenal at the end of the season, but manager Mikel Arteta will still have Gabriel, Rob Holding, Calum Chambers and Pablo Mari next season.

William Saliba and Konstantinos Mavropanos are also scheduled to return to the Gunners from their respective loan spells in the summer.

Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation regarding Kaiky.

While some cannot understand why Arsenal are looking at a young defender, others are disappointed that they are facing competition from a club such as Ajax.
