Edu can repeat Gabriel Jesus Arsenal transfer trick and complete £50m deal for 'next Neymar'

Arsenal technical director Edu Gaspar has a history of signing players from his home nation of Brazil and he could look to repeat that transfer strategy.

Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Jesus and Marquinhos have all been signed by Edu in the past three years as the Gunners built a Brazilian core to Mikel Arteta's team. Ex-Arsenal captain Gilberto Silva has lauded Martinelli and Edu in the past, highlighting how his former club have got things right on and off the pitch.

Palmeiras starlet Endrick Felipe looks to be Brazil's next big talent after being dubbed the 'next Neymar' and has been linked with big money moves to both the Gunners and Chelsea. Jesus has been full of praise for the progress of Endrick, describing the teenager as 'a phenomenon' with Palmeiras thought to have slapped a £50million price tag on their prized asset.
