The agent of Bahia midfielder Ramires has acknowledged the interest of Arsenal.

Arsenal are keen on Bahia starlet Ramires - full name Eric dos Santos Rodrigues - and the club's scouts have watched him in action six times.

Ramires' agent Ueslei says a concrete deal is not yet in place.

"There is talk of not only Arsenal, but several clubs in Brazil here too, several clubs in Europe, but nothing concrete," he told Sport Witness.

Along with Arsenal, Atletico Madrid are also keen.
