Arsenal are in talks with Gremio for Copa America winner Everton Soares.
UOL Esporte says new Gunners technical chief Edu has identified the Brazilian as a top target this summer.
Everton impressed for the Samba Boys during their Copa America campaign and was named man of the match in their 3-1 win over Peru in the final.
Edu spoke to the player's agent earlier this week over a potential move to the Emirates.
The Gunners are now weighing up a formal offer for the 23-year-old forward.
