**Brazilian defender Wesley has done quite well for AS Roma, and Arsenal are interested in securing his signature.**
The 22-year-old has been a key player for the Italian club, and he’s expected to play a key role for Carlo Ancelotti and the Brazilian national team in the upcoming World Cup as well.
He is highly rated across Europe, and clubs like Manchester City, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring him from the Premier League as well. On the other hand, La Liga clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona have taken note of his performance, according to [Calciomercato.It](https://www.calciomercato.it/2026/05/06/dal-rimpianto-juve-allinteresse-delle-big-la-roma-si-gode-wesley-cm/).
It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Arsenal could use more depth in the right back department, and the Brazilian could prove to be an upgrade on Ben White. He has been a reliable defender in Italy, and he is quite impressive going forward. He could add a new dimension to the Arsenal attack.
The opportunity to join the UEFA Champions League finalists will be exciting for him. Arsenal are close to winning the Premier League title as well. It would be a huge step up for Wesley, and he would get to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world. It could allow him to consistently fight for major trophies.
Manchester City, Newcastle and Tottenham have the financial muscle to get the deal done as well. It will be interesting to see where the 22-year-old ends up eventually.
With multiple clubs keen on him, Roma will expect a bidding war so they can recoup as much as possible from his departure. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can win the race for his signature.
