Arsenal have made a bid to Serie A side Torino for Brazilian Bruno Peres, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.
Peres, who can play as either a right-back or as a winger, is also a target for Premier League champions Leicester City, but they have yet to submit an official offer.
According to Di Marzio, Arsenal’s bid has not met Torino’s asking price and will be rejected, so the Gunners will need to come back with a higher offer if they wish to get their man.
The 26-year-old joined the Italian side from Santos back in 2014 and has put in some very impressive performances.
Despite his capability of playing at full-back, he spent the majority of last season playing as a winger and scored three goals and had seven assists in 31 league appearances.
It is not yet known if Arsenal are targeting the Brazilian to play at full-back or on the wing, but he’d provide Arsene Wenger with a versatile option if he does join the Gunners.
