Arsenal eye £40m Brazil transfer as Vinicius Junior thanks Gunners star

Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing 21-year-old Corinthians midfielder Breno Bidon, who carries a £40 million valuation. The Gunners previously made enquiries about a permanent transfer for the Brazil international in January and are monitoring developments, though any move could depend on the future of midfielder Martin Zubimendi.

Meanwhile, Brazil forward Vinicius Junior publicly thanked Arsenal midfielder Bruno Guimaraes for letting him take an 80th-minute penalty during Brazil's 4-2 victory against Australia. Guimaraes relinquished designated spot-kick duties to help the Real Madrid star restore his confidence.
