The Arsenal evening headlines as Brazilian defender is scouted and two summer transfers lined up

Here are your Arsenal evening headlines for Saturday, March 14.

Two transfers to be completed

Arsenal are being linked with moves for two players during the summer transfer window.

And both would significantly improve the team.

Thomas Partey has been tipped to join the Gunners for some time now, despite the fact the summer transfer window remains three months away from opening.

Premier League suspended until April 3 due to coronavirus outbreak

The Atletico Madrid midfielder has a £45million release clause and Arsenal have been urged to sign him.

He is not the only one, though.

According to the Daily Mail , Arsenal are in the market for Diogo Jota from Wolves.

The forward has scored 15 goals in all competitions this season and would bolster Arsenal's attacking options.

Dani Ceballos surprise

Dani Ceballos has not exactly been the star turn many Arsenal fans would have been expecting this season.

The midfielder starred for Spain U21s during the European Championship win last summer and was hot property, with Real Madrid refusing to let him leave permanently.

He has struggled at times in the Premier League and was linked with a return to Real Madrid, or a loan elsewhere during the January transfer window, but stayed put.

And Mikel Arteta was surprised by his attitude during the club's winter break to Dubai, accroding to the Express , and his subsequent return to the first team has shown Arteta has a new-found respect for the Spaniard.

Brazilian defender scouted

Arsenal have signed talented players from Brazil recently.

Gabriel Martinelli and Pablo Mari have both joined the Gunners in the last couple of transfer windows, and according to Gauchazh there could be another one coming to north London.

Bruno Fuchs is a 20-year-old defender playing his trade for Internacional in Brazil and he has a number of suitors already.

Given the form of Martinelli since arriving in England, and Mari performing well in his first few weeks in the capital, Arsenal should not be put off continuing to raid Brazil for their best talents.

And they have scouted Fuchs in the past week to see if he has the potential to follow in Mari and Martinelli's footsteps.
