Arsenal sporting director Edu has admitted his support for Marquinhos after the youngster was called up to Brazil's squad for the Under-20s World Cup.
Writing on Instagram, the Gunner transfer chief said: "We are very proud @_marquinhos011 !!! (clapping emoji)." Marquinhos joined the north London outfit last summer, signing from Sao Paulo on a four-year contract with an option for a further year for a fee believed to be in the region of £3million, football.london understands.
The 20-year-old scored and assisted on his senior debut against FC Zurich in the UEFA Europa League but found game time hard to come by before eventually joining Championship side Norwich City on loan during the January transfer window. The young winger has since played 11 matches for the Canaries, registering one goal and providing one assist.
