Arsene Wenger has been linked with an array of strikers in the Summer transfer window. After Jamie Vardy snubbed Arsenal, they now line up a new target to fill that void.

The club have sent an official offer to Brazilian outfit Santos for Gabriel 'Gabigol' Barbosa, as reported by ESPN Brasil. The budding superstar is heralded as the next Neymar, who is widely considered to be the top prospect in Brazil.

Santos have a rich history in developing players, as their reputation for forging talent continues to blossom; from Robinho to Neymar with the exciting Barbosa garnering plenty of interest.

The report from South America also states that Barbosa is thrilled by the offer from the Premier League side, while telling his agent his desire to play for a top European club. It's believed that the Gunners will have to compete with Fiorentina and China's Hebei Fortune who have also keen.

'Gabigol' has a release clause of £15 million, though all the offers received for the 19-year-old exceed that, as the footballing world awaits his next move.

Stay tuned for further updates.
