Ganso, Rodriguez, Paulinho on Arsenal Radar

Jese Rodriguez
By Nick Lander

Arsenal are believed to be considering a move for Real Madrid youngster Jese Rodriguez. The Spain Under-19 international plays in Madrid's B team. A talented attacker, he bagged 5 goals during this summers European U-19 Championships for Spain, scoring the winner in the final. Last summer he was part of Jose Mourinho's 1st team squad during pre-season, but was then returned to the B team, so he obviously has potential. A move is no certainty, but Madrid would probably accept an offer in the region of £10m for the 19 year old, who is growing unsettled because of his lack of first team opportunities.

Ganso is set for a European move
22 year old Santos playmaker Ganso is also said to be of interest to the Gunners, who will be scouting him this evening (Friday) as he plays for the Brazil Olympic team against Aaron Ramsey's TeamGB in a friendly at the Riverside. The midfielder, who has 8 caps for Brazil, is set for a move away from his homeland after talks over a new contract broke down. AC Milan, Chelsea and Tottenham are also believed to be considering moves for the Brazilian, but the Daily Mail is reporting that Arsene Wenger is on the verge of sanctioning a £15m move for him.

The Gunners are also believed to have made a £9m offer for Brazilian attacking midfielder Paulinho. The Corinthians youngster turned in some impressive performances last season, earning himself a place in the Brazilian team of the year. A clever and creative player, Inter Milan are also reported to be interested in the 23 year old.
