Arsenal are exploring a sensational move to sign Vinicius Jr from Real Madrid.
The Premier League champions are eager to bolster their squad this summer after ending their 22-year wait for a league triumph.
The club have confirmed a deal for Greek winger Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge, their first piece of business in what could be a pivotal summer in north London.
But the club are also looking at an ambitious move to bring Brazil star Vinicius to the capital if he does not extend his contract with Real.
He has 12 months left on his current deal in the Spanish capital and so far there has been no breakthrough in talks over a new contract.
