According to Globoesporte, the Gunners have had a €6m bid accepted ahead of Brasileirão giants Flamengo and Palmeiras.

The 17-year-old is also close to obtaining an Italian passport which would make a move to Europe much smoother.

Martinelli began his youth career at Corinthians, and has since been on trial with both Barcelona and Manchester United.

Fox Brazil have also verified this information, claiming that Arsenal will be his destination ‘after the Paulistão’ – which officially ends in late April.
