Vinicius Jr to Arsenal is one of the more surprising links to emerge in recent weeks and the Real Madrid winger has now given some clarity over his future.
The Brazilian is being linked with Arsenal as talks over his future in Madrid continue to be put on hold.
However, while Arsenal fans might be excited by the prospect of seeing Vinicius at The Emirates, it appears the player himself has no intention of moving on.
Vinicius Jr wants Real Madrid stay after links to Arsenal
This transfer rumour seems to have been shot down as quickly as it gathered any sort of pace.
Posting quotes from Vinicius himself about his future in Spain, Fabrizio Romano has shared how the player believes he will indeed sign fresh terms at the Bernabeu.
Clearly, every club in the world would like to sign Vinicius if they could be it does appear like he and Madrid are a match made in heaven.
For now, we’ll have to make do with looking at other wingers to address the left-hand side this summer.
Mikel Arteta is keen on adding strength in that area but knows that any player of the highest order will cost huge money.
Arsenal should move on to other targets quickly
We said at the time that the links to Vinicius seemed unlikely and with the player himself admitting as much here, this one is over before it even got going.
Arsenal need to concentrate on trying to get players into the club who they can realistically sign.
Whether that be a young up and coming wide player or someone who has already proven themselves in Europe or beyond, remains to be seen.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is a player of interest to Arsenal but like Vinicius, he would cost huge money.
Of course, the club will have their targets but as for the cream of the crop, it seems they’re a long way from being realistic acquisitions.
