Arsenal are one of the clubs who have contacted Palmeiras about the availability of youngster Gabriel Jesus, according to Simon Jones from the Mail.
The 18-year-old Brazilian is one of the most talked about youngsters in world football and unsurprisingly has many European teams, such as Benfica, Juventus and Roma, chasing him.
The forward, who is comfortable playing either up front or out wide, caught the eyes of scouts across the globe with his performances in the under-20 World Cup earlier this year and numerous clubs have been tracking him ever since.
Jesus is a regular first team player at Palmeiras and has scored seven goals in the 38 appearances he has made at senior level.
His goal scoring at youth level betters his senior record. Last year he managed to find the net a magnificent 37 times in just 22 matches for the Palmeiras youth team.
Arsenal do have a history of signing international youngsters, and Jesus could well be the next.
