Arsenal have been linked with a move for talented Brazilian teenager Antony.
According to the Express , the Gunners are one of a number of clubs eyeing a move for the 19-year-old Sao Paulo winger.
Despite only making six senior appearances for Sao Paulo, the youngster is attracting serious interest from Europe with Ajax, PSV, Monaco and Lyon all interesting in securing his signature.
His agent, Junior Pedroso, has reportedly flown to Europe and already held a series of meetings regarding his client.
There is a £42million release clause in Antony’s contract, but Pedroso – also the agent for Tottenham star Lucas Moura – is understood to believe they can attract a £21million offer which could tempt Sao Paulo to sell.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery and his scouting department clearly have a close eye on Brazil having been linked with several young talents in the country.
They have been heavily linked with 17-year-old Gabriel Martinelli, reportedly agreeing a £6.5m fee with Ituano to make him their first summer signing.
He could have company in the form of Antony if they can fend off the competition from Europe to secure his signature.

Meanwhile, the Gunners will reportedly face competition from Liverpool to try and land 21-year-old Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr.
The Senegalese attacker has emerged as a target for Jurgen Klopp at Anfield after Unai Emery had to put off a January move until the summer due to their financial constraints.
There is now a risk they could miss out on the pacey youngster, who has bagged 11 goals in Ligue 1 this campaign.
