Arsenal representatives are flying out to Brazil to discuss a move for Gremio midfielder Bitello in this summer transfer window, per recent reports.
It comes as the Gunners look to revamp the whole of their midfield ranks over the coming weeks, with work already underway to make such changes. Granit Xhaka was the first to make an exit during the market, making a switch to Bayer Leverkusen in a deal football.london understands to be worth £21.5million.
football.london also understands that there are chances Thomas Partey could leave too, though the Gunners will have to receive a suitable offer to facilitate a transfer. Recent reports have linked the Ghanaian with a possible deal to join Juventus as well as teams in the Saudi Pro League.
