Premier League champions Arsenal are looking into a potential deal for Brazil and Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior.
There has been no club-to-club contact, but the interest is real, according to Sky Sports.
Vinicius Jr, 26, is one of a number of forward targets Arsenal are exploring, with Julian Alvarez, Yan Diomande, and Bradley Barcola also players of interest.
The Brazilian international has entered the final year of his contract and if an agreement cannot be found on a new deal, Real could be open to selling, rather than lose him for free next summer.
Arsenal are aiming to strengthen their left-wing options this summer and the Brazil ace would be a superstar addition.

Arsenal sold Leandro Trossard to Besiktas for £17 million earlier this summer and have brought in Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge for £34 million.
However, their alternative option in that area of the pitch, Gabriel Martinelli, scored just one Premier League goal last season.
Vinicius Jr, the 2024 Ballon d’Or runner-up, is currently on holiday following his exploits for Brazil at the World Cup.
