Rodrigo Caio (Sao Paulo)
Having sold Johan Djourou and seen Thomas Vermaelen recently linked with a move to Manchester United, Arsenal may well look to bring in a backup centre back for first choice pair Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny.
The Metro claim Arsenal have made a £7 million bid to sign Sao Paulo youngster Rodrigo Caio, with big things expected of the 20 year-old.
Caio played excellently alongside PSG wonderkid Marquinhos in the heart of the defence for Brazil’s Under 20 side in the Toulon tournament earlier this summer, and his technical quality means he is also capable of playing an anchor midfield role.
