Arsenal Identify This Real Madrid Winger As Their Main Target: Dream Signing For Arteta? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes revealed that Arsenal have identified Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior as their main target for this summer transfer window. It is believed that the Gunners are very interested in recruiting the Brazilian wide player this off-season.

Vinicius Jr.’s Impressive Form In Spanish Football

Vinicius Jr. enjoyed a good run of form at the Spanish club in the previous campaign when he put in a string of impressive displays for them in the final third. The Brazil international banged in 22 goals and grabbed 14 assists in 53 matches for Real Madrid last season across multiple competitions.

The 26-year-old is currently among the best wide players in La Liga. Hence, it is no surprise that Arsenal are eager to get a deal done for him in this transfer window.

His current contract at the Emirates Stadium will expire at the end of next season, which could open the door for the Gunners to sign him on the cheap later this year.

Will Vinicius Junior Be A Dream Signing For Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta?

Vinicius Jr. is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few dangerous runs with it out in the wide areas. He has got the eye to play some killer passes in and around the opponent’s penalty area and can shoot the ball with venom from long range.

The Brazilian talent can chip in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from the flanks. Vincius Jr. is primarily a left-winger but can also operate as a centre-forward if told to do so. However, only time will tell whether he can cope with the physical style and high intensity of the Premier League if the Gunners manage to land him this off-season.

We can expect Vinicius Jr. to inject more firepower into Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta’s frontline. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the Emirates Stadium next season.

At 26, Vinicius Jr. has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a dream signing for the North London club to pursue in this transfer period. However, Arteta has to give him some time to adjust to life in England before he can get the best out of him.
