Arsenal are said to be in talks with Brazilian side Corinthians over a loan move for Marquinhos.

The forward has been recalled from a spell at FC Nantes, as Arsenal feel he was not getting enough game time.

Marquinhos may now be sent back to Brazil, as the 20-year-old continues to develop.

Per Globo Esporte, the two parties are engaged in talks that have progressed very well.

There may even be a purchase option included within the agreement to send Marquinhos to Corinthians.

Such a deal would suggest that Arsenal are giving up on the forward becoming a first teamer.
