Arsenal May Swiftly Target £15m Brazilian Forward Following Ex-Real Madrid Scout’s Advice
According to a new report, Arsenal could quickly move to sign a bargain forward after receiving behind-the-scenes advice from a former top Real Madrid scout.
With their Premier League title hopes fading, Arsenal’s focus is now on their crucial Champions League tie against Real Madrid. Manager Mikel Arteta called it his biggest game in management, highlighting the immense importance of the two-legged clash against the European champions.
If Arsenal can overcome Real Madrid, they may become favorites to win their first Champions League title. Arteta is taking the first leg very seriously, stating: “This is 100% my biggest night in management. It’s a joy to prepare for a game of this magnitude. The excitement around the club shows this is where Arsenal needs to be consistently.”
Meanwhile, attention is turning to new sporting director Andrea Berta’s first summer transfer window. He is reportedly being assisted by Paolo Xavier, an ex-Real Madrid scout now working at Arsenal.
Arsenal Could Move Quickly for Vasco da Gama Talent Rayan
According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal have entered the race for Vasco da Gama wonderkid Rayan. The Brazil U20 international was recommended by Xavier, who now serves as a top scout at the Emirates.
Arsenal may act swiftly after learning of Rayan’s £15 million release clause. Xavier has identified him as a target, with the club “seriously” considering a deal. However, they face competition from Tottenham, Liverpool, Brighton, Bayern Munich, Fiorentina and Nottingham Forest, who are all monitoring the talented forward.
With multiple clubs interested, the battle for Rayan’s signature could become intense this summer. Arsenal will need to move decisively if they hope to secure the promising Brazilian talent.
