Arsenal keen on signing Andreas Pereira from Manchester United

Unai Emery is keen on signing Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira in January, according to UOL.

The Arsenal manager is looking to bolster his options in the middle of the park, as they look to get their season back on track after an iffy run of form.

Pereira is believed to have received an offer from Arsenal, who hope to secure a deal for the Brazilian this month.

Everton and West Ham are also expressing an interest in signing the 23-year-old, who has made just two Premier League starts for United in 2018/19.

Pereira’s current deal expires at the end of the season, so United know that receiving a fee for him in January would be something of a bonus, should he leave in the summer.

There were many who felt the sacking of Jose Mourinho and arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would see the Brazil international earn more playing time, but it hasn’t happened.

With Aaron Ramsey set to leave Arsenal at the end of the season, bringing in Pereira would help fill the void to an extent.

A potential stumbling block is whether or not United are happy to sell to a rival, but it is a deal that feels possible.
