Gremio wonderkid Vanderson on radar of Arsenal chief Edu

Arsenal chief Edu is ready to add their Brazilian contingent.

The Mirror says manager Mikel Arteta's side have had a number of Brazilian stars arrive in North London recently, though David Luiz has departed, the Gunners still boast samba stars such as Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Willian.

However, recent reports have suggested Arsenal have spotted another Brazilian they are keen on luring to the Emirates in the form of Gremio wonderkid Vanderson.

The 19-year-old recently enjoyed some internet stardom after his stunning strike went viral, with the right-back showcasing some remarkable skill to notch a rare goal.

Beating two defenders with a roulette, he then fires the ball into his teammate for a one two before calmly slotting home.

Traditionally a right-back, Vanderson could theoretically walk right into first-team action if he were to join the Gunners.
