Arsenal are reportedly considering a move for Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior should the Brazilian fail to agree a new contract with the Spanish giants.

According to The Athletic, the Gunners’ interest remains at an early stage, with no formal approach made.

As a result, there is no certainty that the Premier League club will pursue a deal for the 26-year-old or that any potential transfer will materialise.

It is understood there have been no club-to-club talks yet, but the idea “has approval at all levels within Arsenal”.

Vinicius Jr is into the last 12 months of his contract after eight seasons at Real Madrid.

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, is desperate to upgrade his left wing options ahead of next season.
