Arsenal scouting Brazilian striker

Arsenal are scouring Brazilian striker Arthur Cabral who currently plays for Swiss club FC Basel.

But they face heavy competition for the 23-year old, with Spurs, Everton, Leeds United and Brighton among the clubs who have had him watched. Leeds were considering making a move for him in the last window, but were not convinced he would get a work permit because he was playing in the top flight of Swiss football.

Cabral has scored 20 goals already this season.

The Gunners are in the market for a new striker next summer. Alexander Lacazette is into the fianl year of his current deal and is not expected to be offered a renewal/ And the club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be about to enter the final year of his deal as well.
