Corinthians value their star-man around £9m, but will demand he returns on loan as part of the deal.
Italian giants Napoli, is also keen on adding the teenage sensation to their ranks among a number of other clubs across Europe.

“They have been impressed and he has a promising future. He is not really a player for now.
“There could be issues with getting him a visa. It would take a lot of work behind the scenes to get sorted.
“Arsenal have other priorities, so it could be one that happens in the summer, rather than now.”
