Arsenal have reportedly opened talks with Corinthians about a possible transfer for midfielder Maycon. The 20-year-old is also wanted by Serie A side Napoli.
A report from UOL Esporte (h/t Metro) has said 20-year-old Maycon "sees Arsenal as his 'priority.'" The player wants to leave Corinthians this summer.
Maycon has become a regular feature in Corinthians' best XI. He first caught the eye after an impressive loan spell with fellow Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A side Ponte Preta during the 2016/17 campaign.
Arsenal's interest in Maycon makes sense given manager Arsene Wenger's history of working with Brazilian midfielders.
