Arsenal are set for a key scouting mission with Brazilian youth stars Vitor Roque and Matheus Franca in their sights, according to reports. The Gunners, who have had great success with previous youngsters coming from South America, are stepping up their interest in two of Brazil's best talents and will be watching as Flamengo play on Wednesday night.
Alongside 18-year-old Brasileirão club Athletico Paranaense forward Vitor Roque - who has suitors with Chelsea and Barcelona pushing for him too - Arsenal are said to be watching Flamengo's Franca. The 19-year-old midfielder is set to be in action for his club against Nublense.
According to Torcedores, Edu has sent scout Jonathan Vidalle to watch the teenager in action. The north Londoners might have to act quickly if they are to get a deal though with Liverpool, Newcastle and Crystal Palace also said to be interested in him.
