Arsenal: Arteta orders Gunners to ‘send representatives’ for new Vinicius Junior ‘talks’

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reportedly instructed club officials to send representatives to gauge Vinicius Junior's willingness to complete a permanent transfer from Real Madrid. Spanish reports suggest that recent squad competition, notably after substitute Yan Diomande scored and assisted against RB Leipzig, has reignited Arsenal's interest in assessing an opening for the 26-year-old winger.

The development follows confirmed summer interest from Arsenal, with the Brazilian forward's agent, Michael Yormark, acknowledging that the Gunners were very aggressive and rolled out the red carpet. Despite the Premier League club's pursuit, Vinicius Junior chose to remain in Spain, where his representatives insist he is comfortable and remains committed to winning trophies.
