Arsenal Transfer News: Wenger Ready To Pounce For Brazilian-Born Youngster

Arsenal are reportedly monitoring Barcelona youngster Rafa Alcantara with a view to making a move to capture the teenager in January.

The promising midfielder has been producing some eye catching displays in Barca’s B team with suggestions the Brazilian is on the fringes of the first team.

Despite being born in football’s capital, the playmaker has opted to represent Spain and is a regular in the under 19’s squad. Rafa is the brother of Thiago Alcantara, who was also thought to be a target for Arsenal this summer, and is yet to ink a new deal at the Nou Camp with Wenger ready to pounce if the Sao Paulo born youngster opts for a move away from the La Liga champions.
