Arsenal: Mikel Arteta has made his decision on Vinicius Jr

Although he is under contract until June 2027, Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior has emerged as a target for Arsenal's Gunners during this summer transfer window.

According to BBC reports this Monday, Gunners manager Mikel Arteta has already made his stance clear behind the scenes. For the Spanish tactician, the London club must do everything in their power to sign the Brazilian international.

Nevertheless, the Premier League champions are fully aware of the immense complexity surrounding this deal. As things stand, Vinicius Jr wants to continue his adventure with Los Blancos, who are also determined to lock him down for the long term.

However, if the two parties fail to reach an agreement, Arsenal are ready to pounce for Vinicius.

In talks to extend his stay at Real, he is Mikel Arteta's 🇪🇸 absolute top target this summer.

Although the deal is considered very difficult, the Gunners believe they have the financial firepower to make a serious attempt.
