Arsenal are continuing to track Brazilian midfielder Breno Bidon with a view to a potential move in the next transfer window. The club's interest in the Corinthians player has persisted following his recent debut for the Brazil national team.
Team Talk said: "Arsenal remain keen to sign Bidon during the next transfer window." The Gunners have monitored his progress for some time, believing the 20-year-old has the ability to thrive in the Premier League. His performances in Brazil and his international breakthrough have only reinforced the club's view that he is a player destined for the top level of European football.
Bidon is regarded as one of Brazil's most promising young talents. His call-up and debut for the senior national side against Australia last month marked a significant step in his career. Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly keen to involve him more regularly, which has increased attention from clubs across Europe. A move from Corinthians to a stronger league is seen as the logical next challenge for his development, and Arsenal want to be his destination.
Competition for his signature is expected to intensify, which may require Arsenal to act swiftly. If an agreement can be reached with Corinthians, Bidon could become the latest in a line of Brazilian talents to begin their European careers in north London. The club's current squad includes several players signed from Brazil, and they see Bidon as a potential key addition for the future.
Arsenal's recruitment drive comes as the team sits second in the Premier League with 12 points from five games. Their next match is at home against Leeds United on 10 October.
