Arsenal and Inter Milan are chasing Flamengo's 17 year-old whiz Reinier Jesus.

The Sun says it is understood the 17-year-old Flamengo star has caught the eye of Arsenal, after a solid goalscoring start to the season.

Rumours have suggested the club have even been in contact with the teenager's dad to discuss a potential move.

Attacking midfielder Reinier's contract was recently extended until 2024 with the £60m release clause inserted in a bid to deter European suitors.

Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Juventus and Everton have all been linked with him in the past few weeks.

Arsenal hope the summer signing of Gabriel Martinelli can help them lure him to the Emirates.
