Arsenal are hard at work trying to sign Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos ahead of the summer transfer window, according to French outlet Le10Sport.
The 21-year-old has ‘been doing wonders this season’ while on loan at Ligue 1 club Strasbourg, and the Gunners are not the only team keen on recruiting his services this summer.
Arsenal are in the market for a midfielder and have all but wrapped up a deal for Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi, but they could lose Thomas Partey if he does not sign an extension, and Santos has caught their eyes.
Paris Saint-Germain are also looking to snap up the Brazil international after an impressive time in the French top-flight, with nine goals and three assists to his name in 31 league games.
Arsenal could do with such a midfielder in their ranks as they need goals from every outfield position, but whether Chelsea will be open to strengthening a rival remains to be seen.
The youngster plays as a defensive midfielder and central midfielder, with tackling, winning aerial duels and blocking the ball his major strengths.
