As well as purchasing players under a certain age bracket, Arsenal seem to have quite a strong interest in their passport as yet another Brazilian star joins the club under the stewardship of Edu Gaspar as technical director.
Formerly the technical director of the Brazilian national team, since taking on his current role in north London Edu has sought out the signings of plenty of Brazilian players - to mixed success. There are high hopes for the latest recruit though, ex-Sao Paulo talent Marquinhos.
A pacey, tricky winger - the 19-year-old's versatility could be one of the main factors Mikel Arteta has given the deal the green light. Boasting the ability to operate from either flank, Marquinhos is more than comfortable on both feet but favours his left.
