Arsenal are reportedly keen to sign Santos star Gabriel Barbosa this summer after missing out on Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy.
The Gunners were believed to have activated Vardy's £20m release clause, but the 29-year-old snubbed their interest in favour of agreeing a new deal with the Premier League champions.
In an attempt to boost his attacking options, manager Arsene Wenger has now turned his attention to Barbosa by submitting a formal offer, according to ESPN Brasil.
The report adds that the 19-year-old has also attracted interest from the Chinese Super League, but he is keen to move to the Emirates.
