Atletico Madrid fear they're losing ground to Arsenal in the race for Porto striker Andre Silva.

Atletico have been locked in talks with Porto for months over Andre Silva as part of initial negotiations for Oliver Torres.

The Madrid giants were convinced they were close to a deal, but Arsenal's sudden interest has moved the goal posts.

Arsenal scouts watched Andre Silva in action against Champions League opponents Leicester City last month and have registered their interest with Porto.

O Jogo says Arsenal are aware of Andre Silva's €60 million buyout clause and will maintain a watching brief.

The 20 year-old has scored five goals in seven league games this season.
