Reports say Arsenal are interested in signing Brazilian striker Endrick and could consider a potential deal under which Martin Zubimendi would move to Real Madrid. The idea remains speculative, and no deal has been confirmed.
According to the report, which cites TEAMtalk, Arsenal have been exploring the possibility of signing Endrick in January for some time, while intermediaries have floated the idea of including Zubimendi in the deal. Arsenal are said to believe that the Brazilian player wants to join them.
The report noted that Zubimendi has slipped down coach Mikel Arteta’s list of options, while Real Madrid had previously shown interest in him when he was at Real Sociedad. Arsenal, meanwhile, could benefit from keeping him as a substitute for the rest of the season, given the number of matches and the possibility that injuries could affect the squad.
The article argues that Endrick could give Arsenal an additional option in a position where the team needs attacking solutions, but notes that the player, aged 20 according to the report, has yet to establish himself at Real Madrid. It concludes that a deal is possible, but there is no reason to consider it imminent or confirmed.
