Arsenal have no plans to sell Marquinhos any time soon and only want to loan him out, according to transfer insider Dean Jones. The winger arrived at the Emirates during the summer transfer window, and Jones says he is “highly thought of” in that part of north London.
Earlier this month, The Sun reported that Arsenal are considering loaning Marquinhos out in January. The Brazilian, who joined the Gunners from Sao Paulo back in June, has been getting some minutes under Mikel Arteta.
He came on in the recent 3-0 win against Brentford and started in the 2-1 Europa League victory over FC Zurich, where he scored.
However, it appears that Arsenal believe Marquinhos can develop even faster if he is getting regular game time at another club.
