**A move to Arsenal does “appeal” to Real Madrid forward Endrick, according to reports.**
[_TEAMtalk_](https://www.teamtalk.com/arsenal/fresh-endrick-enquriry-real-madrid-two-other-left-wing-options-targeted) claim that the Brazilian and his entourage have lingering doubts about the amount of game time he will get if he stays at the Bernabeu this campaign.
Real boss Jose Mourinho has insisted that Endrick will play an important role, but there are concerns that his minutes could be limited, as they were in the first half of last season.
The 20-year-old eventually joined Lyon on loan in January, where he performed well, scoring 8 goals and providing 8 assists in 21 appearances.
At the moment, Real don’t appear willing to sanction Endrick’s departure for a second time, but the Gunners seem to be testing the waters, with _TEAMtalk_ reporting that “fresh enquiries” about his availability have been made.
Where would Endrick play if he moves to the Emirates?
-----------------------------------------------------
The Brazilian international is primarily a striker, but he is left-footed, and it is believed that manager Mikel Arteta would consider deploying him from the left.
A replacement for Gabriel Martinelli is needed, with Endrick’s international teammate set to seal a €65m (£55.7m) switch to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal over the coming days.
Arsenal are looking at several other options
--------------------------------------------
In addition to Endrick, sporting director Andrea Berta is said to have considered moves for the likes of Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye, Marseille’s [**Igor Paixao**](https://goonernews.com/blog/arsenal-transfer-news-igor-paixao/), as well as Lyon’s Malick Fofana, although Fofana has been heavily linked with Serie A side Roma.
Somewhat surprisingly, Marcus Rashford has also been mentioned as a potential Deadline Day loan signing, although such a move would probably depend on Manchester United finding a suitable replacement for the England international.
Julian Alvarez remains the top target to strengthen the forward line, but at the time of writing, the Argentinian has still not given the green light to joining the Gunners.
