Reported Tottenham Hotspur transfer target Lucas Paqueta is open to a move to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the summer transfer window, according to Media Foot.
The report has claimed that Arsenal are pressing hard to sign Paqueta from Lyon this summer.
The Gunners are reportedly determined to secure the services of the Brazil international midfielder, who has been linked with Antonio Conte’s Tottenham and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City as well.
Earlier this week, ESPN Brasil reported that Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City have held talks to sign Paqueta ‘in recent weeks’.
Media Foot have claimed that Newcastle United too are interested in Paqueta, who is open to a move to Arsenal and will listen to an offer from the Gunners.
Another Brazilian star off to the Emirates Stadium?
Arsenal have as many as four Brazilian players already, and Paqueta would be the fifth, if indeed he made the move to the Emirates Stadium.
Defender Gabriel, striker Gabriel Jesus, forward Gabriel Martinelli and forward Marquinhos are the four Brazilian players in the Arsenal first-team squad at the moment.
Jesus and Marquinhos moved to the Gunners only this summer.
Arsenal Technical Director Edu is also Brazilian.
Paqueta is only 24, but the Lyon star has already played 33 times for Brazil.
