Arsenal open talks with two strikers: Endrick or wildcard option?

Arsenal have reportedly initiated contact to explore potential deals for Real Madrid striker Endrick and Monza forward Gustavo Varela. The Premier League club is assessing attacking options as Viktor Gyokeres struggles for form and faces an uncertain future. While Endrick has seen limited playing time under Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, reports indicate Arsenal would prefer a loan with an option to buy, whereas Madrid favors a straight loan.

Simultaneously, Arsenal have reportedly made enquiries for Varela, who has impressed by scoring 10 goals in nine appearances this season. The analysis notes that while both young prospects represent potential transfer targets, signing either player during the January transfer window would carry considerable risk for Arsenal's mid-season campaign.
