Thursday's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup: Vinicius Junior, Evan N'Dicka, Junior Firpo

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Arsenal on Thursday, February 4.

The January transfer window has now closed, leaving Arsenal to begin looking forward to the summer for their next round of recruitment.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Emirates Stadium.

Thursday morning's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup:


Real Madrid 'prepared to sell Vinicius Junior' amid Arsenal, Liverpool talk

Real Madrid are reportedly ready to cash in on Premier League-linked forward Vinicius Junior at the end of the campaign.

The 20-year-old's career has yet to truly take off at the Bernabeu, having scored just 12 times in 94 appearances in all competitions.

Vinicius was signed for a reported fee of €46m in May 2017 - the second-highest fee ever for a Brazilian behind only Neymar.

According to Spanish outlet AS, Los Blancos want to recoup some of that money in the summer.

That could be good news for Arsenal and Liverpool, with both teams said to be interested in signing the one-cap Brazil international.

Vinicius has scored three goals in 24 appearances for Madrid in all competitions this term, 10 of those being starts.



Arsenal lead Tottenham Hotspur in race for Evan N'Dicka?

Arsenal are reportedly ahead of rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the race to sign Eintracht Frankfurt defender Evan N'Dicka.

The 21-year-old joined Frankfurt from Auxerre in 2018 and has made 82 appearances for the German club in all competitions, including 12 outings during the 2020-21 campaign.

According to Bild, Arsenal and Spurs have been scouting the France Under-21s international during the current season.

However, the report claims that the Gunners have an advantage due to their relationship with the player's agent, who was involved in Nicolas Pepe's switch to the Emirates Stadium.

N'Dicka missed the start of the season through injury but has been a regular in recent weeks, playing a key role in Frankfurt winning five of their last six Bundesliga matches.

Southampton are also believed to be keeping a close eye on the centre-back.
