Arsenal are reportedly interested in 17-year-old Brazilian Yan Couto but the Gunners face competition from Bayer Leverkusen.
The Bundesliga giants have reportedly already made a €5million move for the full-back, but Arsenal could look to rival them in the race to sign the teenager.

READ ARSENAL VERDICT
Couto certainly sounds like a hugely exciting talent, who recently starred for Brazil at the Under-17 World Cup.
The teenager posses great pace and is very strong in the tackle, with Football Talent Scouts comparing him to a young Dani Alves.
The Gunners appears as though they’ll have to act quickly in the race to sign him, however, given how Leverkusen are said to have already made a €5million bid for him.
