Arsenal chief Edu offered Corinthians goalkeeper Donelli

Arsenal chief Edu is watching teenage Corinthians goalkeeper Donelli.

The Gunners have been watching Donelli for a year and now have the chance to land him.

Arsenal legend Edu is the North London club's technical director and a 19-page scouting document was sent his way in an attempts to lure an offer.

Edu, 43, was previously at Corinthians, both as a player and a director of football, and likes to keep tabs on his ex-club.

Donelli has represented Brazil at youth level, winning the U17s World Cup in 2019.
