Arsenal face £40M gamble for Benfica whiz Goncalo Guedes

Arsenal are in the hunt for Benfica teen Goncalo Guedes.

The Mail on Sunday says the Gunners will have to fight off interest from Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and possibly even Real Madrid … and take a £40million gamble on the teenager should they make a move for him next summer.

Guedes, 17, is in the process of signing a lucrative new deal at Benfica.

Although it is a five-year deal, part of Benfica's rationale to get him to sign a long-term contract is to get a substantial fee for the winger who inevitably they are will sell on, possibly as soon as next summer. A £40m release clause is set to be inserted into the player's contract.
