Arsenal and Chelsea are the latest clubs being linked with a move for Brazilian wonderkid Vitor Roque.

The 18-year-old has been outstanding for Athletico Paranaense over the past year.

The forward is eager to make a move to Europe, as he eventually aims to play for Barcelona.

He told Sport in February: "If ending up going to Barca comes to fruition, it will be a great joy for my family and for me... for this reason, I have to continue working hard and hope that everything will come to fruition over time."

However, Barca are not in the best financial health, which may give English sides a chance to swoop in for Roque.

Per Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal and Chelsea are eager and will make bids for the player in the summer.
