Gremio name their price for Arsenal transfer target Everton Soares

Unai Emery is close to adding new signings to his squad for the 2019/20 season.

Arsenal finished fifth in the Premier League last season, edged out by Chelsea and Tottenham in the battle for the top four, while they were also beaten in the Europa League final by the Blues.

Gabriel Martinelli has already joined the club from Ituano, while William Saliba and Dani Ceballos are expected to join him at the Emirates.

Edu's arrival back in north London has led to speculation that more Brazilian players could come to Arsenal, and one of those linked with a move is winger Everton Soares, who starred for the Samba Boys at the Copa America.

It would appear the 23-year-old is already preparing for life in England, having been spotted learning English in a video online.

The Brazilian international, has been in fine form for Brazilian Serie A Gremio, having registered six goals and one assist in 13 games across all competitions last season.

Reports coming out of Brazil, via journalist Brenno Beretta suggest that it is going to be a "decisive week" in the battle to sign the frontman.

And in offering that update, Beretta also revealed the price tag that Gremio have put on the 23-year-old's head - £36million.
