Arsenal's first recruit of the summer transfer window Marquinhos has admitted that his decision to leave Sao Paulo for Arsenal "wasn't easy" as he said his farewells to his former employers in a long Instagram reel posted on his social media following his move.
football.london understands that deal struck between the two clubs was in the region of £3million as the 19-year-old signed a four-year contract in North London.
The Gunners had faced competition from Wolves for Marquinhos' signature, but have now won the race to get their man. It is expected that he will now join up with the Gunners for pre-season, with players set to report back to London Colney in two weeks' time.
