'Better than Kieran Tierney!' - Arsenal fans respond to links with Real Madrid star Marcelo

The summer transfer window often throws up plenty of left field speculation, but this one takes the biscuit.

According to Spanish publication Sport, Arsenal are planning an audacious move for Real Madrid star Marcelo.

The 31-year-old is reportedly keen to leave the Santiago Bernabeu with first team opportunities set to be limited as Zinedine Zidane looks to freshen up the Spanish giants.

It's said that the Gunners will join Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and AC Milian in the hunt for the Brazilian legend.

While Arsenal are in the market for a left-back, it's highly unlikely that Unai Emery's side will be able to compete with the mentioned sides - both financially and in terms of the Champions League football on offer.

As you'd expect, the news has been met with a mixed reaction on social media.
