Deal close! Arsenal gunning for Brazilian youngster

English Premier League outfit Arsenal are reported to be keen on the signature of Brazil goalkeeper Gabriel Brazo as they hope to land him at the Emirates Stadium in this winter transfer window.

Reports according to TEAMtalk claim that the North London side are not alone in the bid for Gabriel Brazo with their bitter rivals Man United also monitoring the situation with the goalkeeper.

The North London side have got a lot of young talents in the various departments on the pitch but that cannot be said of the goalkeeping angle which is the reason why they are making efforts to enrich their arsenals.

There is a bid at the Emirates Stadium to encourage youngsters who have got the potential to impress at a bigger stage and that is deliberate in order to reduce the spending of the club on recruitment.

Suggestions are that the Gunners are not willing to secure any signature this winter window but will only hand more opportunities to their young ones who have been impressive for the youth team and the others that have been handed roles in Cup competitions.

The same is expected in the case of Gabriel Brazo should the North London side win the race to secure his signature.

Gabriel Brazo is reported to be worth about £3 million which will not be too much for the Gunners.
