Arsenal have no doubt enjoyed an eventful summer transfer window thus far with the signing of Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, and Gabriel Jesus.
The Gunners as always reported, are not ready to take their feet off the pedal just yet as Mikel Arteta is still interested in signing one more midfielder and a defender.
Despite Fabio Vieira’s arrival from FC Porto this summer, a midfielder is still top of Arsenal’s wishlist and they have been linked with several names including Youri Tielemans, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Fabian Ruiz, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Lucas Paquetá amongst others.
According to reports emerging from the UK this afternoon, the Gunners are confident and optimistic on agreeing a deal for Olympique Lyonnaise midfielder Lucas Paquetá. Per Rob Bairner via football.london.
Arsenal are reportedly set to make an offer in the region of €50million for the 24-year old Brazilian international and according to reports from France, Lyon are ‘bracing’ themselves for the bid with the Gunners camp having a feeling of optimism that a deal will be done.
