Arsenal in shock Endrick link
Arsenal are admirers of Real Madrid striker Endrick, CaughtOffside claims.
The Brazil international is currently on loan at Lyon after failing to get much game time in the first half of the season. His spell in France has been mixed, but he seems to be hitting a bit of form now after facing fierce criticism for not scoring in Ligue 1 for almost three months.
Arsenal are said to be monitoring his situation because there is a growing belief that the teenager could be made available for transfer this summer, despite recent reports that Real Madrid are planning to integrate him into their team again next season.

Atletico Madrid have shifted their focus from Atalanta midfielder Ederson to Wolves star Joao Gomes, according to Ben Jacobs.
The Spanish giants have opened talks with the Premier League ace after failing to strike a deal with Atalanta for Ederson, with whom they had already agreed terms. A €46m deal is now being worked on for Gomes.
This is good news for Arsenal, who are said to be tracking Ederson. He could now become an option for the Gunners, though Man Utd are also interested in the Brazil international.
Arsenal launch Araujo "attack"
Arsenal have launched a transfer "attack" for Sporting CP wing-back Maxi Araujo, as per Record.
The versatile Uruguay international, who can play everywhere on the left flank, has impressed in his two years in Lisbon and is attracting interest from the Premier League, with Chelsea and Tottenham also linked.
Arsenal have now opened talks with the player's camp, though these are just preliminary discussions. Sporting won't insist on his €80 million release clause being triggered, but they are not willing to sell for less than €60m.

Former Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu has detailed how his Gunners "dream" turned into a nightmare due to his persistent injury problems during his time at the Emirates.
The Japanese defender was signed in 2021 and initially played an important role under Mikel Arteta. However, repeated fitness issues, including several knee problems, limited his game times in subsequent years. He was released last summer and signed for Ajax in late 2025.
"I could never have imagined that I would be hit so hard at Arsenal, because I am actually very careful with my body," he told Ajax Life. "Perhaps more than anyone else. The first six months in London were fantastic. I was living the dream.
"In four years, I played an average of about twenty matches. Normally, you are already close to sixty in a single season. In hindsight, it wasn’t the memory I wanted to create there. But it is what it is.
"I would understand it if I handled it incorrectly. You have players who party after a match and never get injured. I wasn’t doing anything crazy at all, yet it happened to me. You get frustrated for a moment."
