Arsenal could pursue a deal for Lyon midfielder Lucas Paquetá this summer, with the Brazilian possibly being “the next one on their list”, according to Pete O’Rourke.
Mikel Arteta’s side have made four signings this summer, but are looking to strengthen the squad further in a bid to push on from last season’s fifth-placed Premier League finish.
Arsenal’s highest profile signing this summer has been the acquisition of Brazil and Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus for a fee of around £45m, and the club look like they would potentially like to follow that up with the signing of another Brazilian in Paquetá.
Midfielder Fábio Vieira has also signed for the north London club from FC Porto on a long-term contract, after the club’s had agreed an initial £30m fee to be paid for the 21-time Portugal U21 international.
