Arsenal target Matheus Franca is attracting attention from more clubs in England as the Gunners continue to scout him.
The 19-year-old is one of several Brazilians on Arsenal’s radar as the Gunners continue to look for players from that country.
He just broke through at Flamengo and looks like the real deal, which has caught the attention of Mikel Arteta.
However, the Gunners are not the only club interested in a transfer for him at this stage.
A report on The Daily Mail reveals he is also on the radar of Newcastle United and Crystal Palace.
Both clubs will offer him a quicker route to the first team because they are not as big as Arsenal and probably have space for him to play.
At the Emirates, he must prove he is ready before getting a chance in the first team.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Franca looks like a top talent in the making and he is one player we can be sure will do well for us.
However, he is still very young and probably needs more time to develop into the level that is required for him to play for us.
If that is the case, he will be sent out on loan or to our U21 side to prove his worth.

The Brazilian I have been told Arsenal is making a bold bid to bring to the Emirates is one Vitor Roque.
This eighteen year old may very well be the next big thing from the South
This arricle lacks the most obvious info like what position does Franca play? Lack of thought from the author. Anyhow if he is Brazilian then Atsenal are front runners for his signature because of our Brazilian connection ie. Edu.
