Arsenal are reportedly keeping close tabs on Endrick as uncertainty grows over the Brazilian’s role at Real Madrid.
The 20-year-old has struggled for regular opportunities since returning from last season’s successful loan spell at Lyon.
TEAMtalk reports that Arsenal remain keen on a January deal, with Endrick’s representatives expected to discuss his immediate future with Real Madrid during the international break.
Arsenal monitoring Endrick situation
Arsenal made enquiries over Endrick during the summer and have reportedly kept communication open with his representatives.
A January move is far from guaranteed.
AS reports that Endrick remains focused on succeeding at Real Madrid, while his camp has denied claims that he has asked to leave.
However, his limited route to regular football could create an opportunity.
Arsenal already entered the season with questions over their attacking depth, something we highlighted when five PFA selections exposed the one area Arteta still needed to improve.
David Ornstein has also suggested Arsenal have left themselves scope to add an attacker in January, although he stressed he was unaware of anything currently developing.
Andrea Berta’s summer transfer decisions already showed Arsenal were willing to pursue attacking reinforcements.
Endrick would fit that profile.
The situation is one to watch rather than a deal close to completion.
