Arsenal are being linked with a move for young Brazilian defender, Kaiky, and their fans have been discussing the potential deal on social media.

Goal claim that the Gunners, as well as Ajax, are monitoring the teenager. Kaiky, who is still just 17, is said to have a release clause of £61m in his contract, protecting him from the European clubs for now.

But Arsenal are said to have asked to be kept informed on his progress having identified Kaiky through their wide ranging scouting network.

Kaiky plays as a defender, which is unsual for the best young Brazilian players coming through. But he is highly-rated, and Santos are said to think they could already get over £10m for him if they sold him right now.

Naturally, Arsenal fans have been reacting to the links on Twitter. And while some Gunners are confused at moving for another defender, some supporters see the logic in using Edu’s contacts to sign top young talent.

Here’s a look at what some Arsenal fans had to say as they were linked with Kaiky.
