Arsenal have been linked with a move for Real Madrid starlet Vinicius Junior amid reports he is out of favour at the Bernabeu.
According to Calciomercato, Zinedine Zidane is looking to offload the winger in January on a permanent move with the Brazil international not part of the Madrid manager’s plans for the future.
Arsenal had reportedly contacted Madrid with regards to a potential move for the winger last summer, and the Gunners are said to be keen on reigniting their interest in January the report suggests.

The 19-year-old is clearly a huge talent, but the one question regarding reported interest for Arsenal is; do the Gunners need him?
Having strengthened with both Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel Martinelli in the summer, Arsenal have a number of exciting attacking options at the club.
And while the winger would certainly add to that, Madrid would likely demand a large fee him given how they splashed close to £40million when signing him in 2018.
Arsenal therefore may be better placed turning their attention elsewhere and looking to strengthen in other areas in January.
