Arsenal could potentially face a transfer ban as their pursuit of Brazilian wonderkid Marquinhos threatens to turn into a lengthy legal battle.
The Gunners are believed to be edging towards a deal for the Sao Paulo starlet as Mikel Arteta aims to kick-off the shake-up of his current squad at the Emirates Stadium. A move is anticipated to be announced in the coming days with the 19-year-old having said to have travelled to London to complete a medical and agreed to a deal.
However, their efforts to conclude a summer swoop are complicated by Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers. According to Yahoo Sports in Brazil, the Midlands club are seeking advice from a legal firm in Brazil to take action against the player.
