Arsenal are ready to enter the race to sign Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr this summer after he was given an ultimatum over his future, according to TEAMtalk.
The Gunners have had a remarkable campaign and are battling to win the Premier League ahead of Man City, while they have also reached the Champions League final for the first time since 2006, where they will meet Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest at the end of the month.
However, despite their successes, the club are not ready to stand still and are looking at ways to bolster their squad for next season too, which has seen a huge move emerge as a possibility.

Vinicius Jr, who has been described as 'the best player in the world', is entering the final 12 months of his contract at the Bernabeu and it's reported that there is still some way between the parties to find an agreement.
The Brazil international has enjoyed a fine individual season, scoring 20 goals in all competitions, but Madrid have made it clear to him that he will be sold this summer if there is no agreement found on a new contract before the transfer window closes.
Arsenal are understood to be paying very close attention to his situation as a result, as they look at options to strengthen their left wing for the new season.
Madrid still expect to find an agreement and keep Vinicius Jr at the club, but a move to the Premier League hasn't been ruled out due to the finances that they are able to offer.
Arsenal are expected to see Gabriel Martinelli move on, while Leandro Trossard could also be on the move as they look to strengthen their squad, and winning the Champions League and Premier League could make the north London side a very attractive destination.

There are not a lot of generational talents available in the transfer market, but if Vinicius Jr becomes available then he will undoubtedly fit that bill.
At 25-years-old, there is an argument to be had that he still has his best years ahead of him too, which would be a scary sight for the Premier League, and Vinicius would be a huge upgrade on any left-wing option at the Emirates Stadium currently.
Whether it's realistic or not is unclear at this stage, but as it unfolds, Arsenal are ready to be right in the mix for his signature to win that battle.
