Wednesday's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup: Dominik Szoboszlai, Houssem Aouar, Brenner

The summer transfer window has now closed, with Arsenal pulling off one of the standout deals on deadline day.

The Gunners triggered the release clause of Thomas Partey to cap off a relatively busy summer which saw the likes of Willian and Gabriel Magalhaes join too, and attention will now begin to turn to January.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Emirates Stadium.

Wednesday morning's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup:

Arsenal 'open talks over RB Salzburg's Dominik Szoboszlai'

Arsenal have reportedly begun talks with the representatives of Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai over a potential transfer in 2021.

The 20-year-old has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium as a potential alternative to Lyon's Houssem Aouar, with the Gunners keen to bolster their midfield further after the arrival of Thomas Partey.

With Szoboszlai seen as a younger and likely cheaper signing than Aouar would be, recent reports have claimed that the agent of the RB Salzburg man has held talks with Arsenal over a possible transfer next year.

Szoboszlai's agent Matyas Esterhazy previously admitted that Arsenal do hold an interest in his client and contact has now reportedly been made, with AC Milan believed to be out of the running at this point.

Szoboszlai has been tipped to move to the Emirates following his stellar performances for Salzburg over the past couple of campaigns, with the Hungary international already boasting five goals and nine assists in all competitions this season.

The 20-year-old is contracted to the Austrian side until 2022 and could supposedly be available for a reasonable figure of £22m.

Arsenal among clubs interested in Brenner?

Arsenal are reportedly one of a number of clubs keeping tabs on Sao Paulo forward Brenner.

The 20-year-old has done well on the goalscoring front during 2020, with Brenner notching up 15 strikes for Sao Paulo across all competitions, including six goals and two assists from 12 appearances in the Brazilian Serie A.

The youngster's performances have naturally attracted interest from several top clubs in Europe, with Calciomercato claiming that Arsenal are monitoring the situation closely.

The Gunners signed fellow Brazilian youngster Gabriel Martinelli from his homeland last year, but Arsenal would supposedly face much stiffer competition to land Brenner in 2021.

Indeed, the report claims that Paris Saint-Germain, Ajax, Lazio, Juventus and AC Milan all hold an interest in the former Brazil Under-17 international, who is also eligible to represent Italy through his mother.

Brenner is contracted to Sao Paulo until 2022 and reportedly possesses a €50m (£44.5m) release clause in his current deal.
