Football club Arsenal on the verge of securing highly-rated young Brazilian player at a reduced fee, according to reports.
Arsenal Eyeing Brazilian Star Luis Benedetti in January Transfer Window
Arsenal, the Premier League club, are reportedly planning to make a move for Palmeiras' young defender, Luis Benedetti, in the upcoming winter transfer window. The Gunners have been linked with the 19-year-old center-back for some time now, and according to recent reports, they are considering him as a potential seventh major signing this transfer window.
The North London club have already bolstered their squad this summer, with the acquisitions of Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Cristhian Mosquera, and Christian Norgaard. However, Arsenal's performance in their opening game of the Premier League season, a win against Manchester United, was deemed subpar, leading to speculation that Mikel Arteta's side may need more reinforcements to compete in four competitions this season.
Transfermarkt values Benedetti at €500k, making him an affordable option for Arsenal. The Brazilian star's potential arrival at the Emirates Stadium could be funded by the sales of some of Arsenal's current players. Names like Oleksandr Zinchenko, Reiss Nelson, Albert Sambi Lokonga, and Fabio Vieira have been mentioned as potential candidates for a sale before Deadline Day.
Interest in Jakub Kiwior, another of Arsenal's defenders, from the continent could also lead to the club choosing to sell him, with Gustavo Soler claiming that €10 million could be enough to snare the Polish international. Kiwior was left out of the squad that beat Manchester United at the weekend, with Mosquera named on the bench instead.
Diego Firmino, an insider from Palmeiras, has mentioned Arsenal's interest in Benedetti, adding weight to the rumours. If the deal does materialise, it would mark another astute piece of business from Arsenal's new sporting director, Andrea Berta, who has brought in half a dozen players this summer.
As the transfer window approaches its close, Arsenal fans will be eagerly awaiting any further developments in the Luis Benedetti saga. The young defender could be the final piece of the puzzle for Mikel Arteta's side as they look to challenge for honours this season.
