According to Eurosport, Arsenal are continuing to keep track of Sporting Lisbon winger, Pedro Goncalves, ahead of a potential summer move.

The report, which looks at five players which could make a move to England this summer, lists Goncalves as a player of interest for a number of clubs, following his fine season in Portugal.

Eurosport say that Goncalves is ‘on the radar’ of Arsenal, who are once again looking to the market to improve their squad this summer.

Goncalves, formerly of Wolves, has been in superb form for Lisbon this term. He has scored 15 times, setting up a further five, to underline his potential in attacking areas.

Just 22, the sky looks the limit for the young star, although a reported £52m release-clause could well prove troublesome for Arsenal.

Manchester United have previously registered their own interest in Goncalves. That suggests Arsenal face a fight on their hands, should they make their move for the winger this summer.

Young Portuguese wingers often bring excitement. We’ve already had the likes of Ronaldo and Nani light up the Premier League, while Pedro Neto is the latest to be flying with Wolves.

Goncalves, it seems, ticks plenty of boxes. Quick, capable of playing on both wings or as a ten, and crucially, with end product.

£52m might sound a lot in the post-pandemic market but if Arsenal are serious about improving, then the Lisbon ace might well prove to be a signing they simply need to get this summer.
