Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke 'leading' Chelsea and Barcelona race for 'greatest' Brazilian prodigy

Arsenal are leading the race for Brazilian wonderkid Vitor Roque, according to reports in Spain. The Gunners are said to be in the best position to sign the striker ahead of Chelsea and Barcelona.

The forward has become one of the hottest South American prospects after his superb performances at the 2023 South American U20 Championship earlier this year. Roque played eight games throughout the tournament, finishing as joint top-scorer with six goals alongside Chelsea's Andrey Santos

His performances in Columbia resulted in him being included in the senior team for the international friendly defeat to Morocco this month, receiving his first cap as a 65th-minute substitute.
