It has no doubt been a surreal few months for Arsenal's Marquinhos, who is now making a name for himself at one of the biggest clubs in the world following a £3.5million move from Sao Paulo this summer.
The Brazilian was actually the first signing to be completed as part of a busy window for the club, with technical director Edu leading negotiations back in May. At the time, Globo Esporte claimed that the Gunners sought to build a relationship with Sao Paulo similar to that of Ajax's which led to the transfers of David Neres and Antony.
Although it's early days at the moment, it could be a partnership that would see the Brazilian side become Arsenal's 'feeder club', meaning several exchanges between the two could follow Marquinhos' move in the future.
