Arsenal planning a huge summer overhaul after finishing the Premier League season in the fifth place. Unai Emery’s side lost in the Europa League final and failed to qualify for the Champions League football. Now the Gunners are reportedly preparing an offer for highly-rated Flamengo youngster Reinier Jesus.
Emery is desperate to bring him to the Emirates, according to
Tuttomercatoweb. The player is regarded as one of the most talented young midfielders in the World.
The 17-year-old has captained Brazil at youth level. He has a release clause in his contract worth a staggering £60million.
“I’m heavily inspired by [Zinedine] Zidane,” he said. “I’ve watched a lot of videos on the internet of him playing. I’m always trying to execute plays like he did.”
Reinier plays with the same style as AC Milan’s legend and Ballon d’Or winner, Kaka.
