Two gifted teenage attackers have been linked to Arsenal after a pivotal run of games. The Gunners will return their focus to the Spanish powerhouses ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final second-leg after facing Atletico Madrid in the middle of the week and Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.

Five victories would put Mikel Arteta’s team in the running for a historic league and European Cup double. However, while keeping an eye on this summer’s transfer transactions, manager and sporting director Andrea Berta is already working behind the scenes to strengthen the club.

Once the transfer market opens, a number of players are anticipated to depart from the north Londoners, as Arsenal will need to sell in order to cover the expenditures from both last summer and this summer. Mirror Football now examines two of the club’s most recent transfer tales.

Club icon Emmanuel Petit has pushed Arsenal to capture ‘diamond’ Real Madrid star Endrick this summer. Since joining Los Blancos, the Brazilian has struggled to get consistent playing time. He is presently on loan at Lyon, where he has scored seven goals this season.

Gunners urged to sign Real Madrid diamond

The 19-year-old is unlikely to make an impact in the Real Madrid starting lineup when he returns to Spain next season, despite his relative success in France, since Kylian Mbappe presently holds that spot. Given Arteta’s present lack of game-winning forward alternatives, Petit has been persuaded that his old team should try to sign the gifted striker.

“He’s so young, only 19 years old,” Petit said. He is incredibly gifted and talented, but he also has a lot of energy and is like a mad horse. He can be a touch too self-centred on the pitch. He is aware of his enormous qualities, nonetheless.

“This boy is a diamond; what sort of club would be ideal for him? He has to be in the appropriate atmosphere to grow and flourish. To be honest with you, I would love for him to join Arsenal given his abilities.”
