Arsenal are being linked with a move for one of Brazilian football’s brightest talents, who has been compared to Julian Alvarez\"Arsenal<\/p>\n

Arsenal have been dealt in a blow in their quest to sign Santos star Ignacio Pereira, who has been tipped to follow in the footsteps of Julian Alvarez. The Gunners<\/a> were heavily linked with strengthening their forward line in the summer transfer window, particularly after the departure of several key players.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus all left Arsenal in the summer on permanent deals, which left the Gunners with the task of bringing in replacements.<\/p>\n

Christos Tzolis was signed from Club Brugge, but there were still rumours that Arsenal wanted more additions to their forward line.<\/p>\n

Alvarez was heavily linked with a move to north London in the summer, but the Argentina international\u2019s preference was to sign for Barcelona, a deal which never materialised.<\/p>\n

A few months later, Arsenal are now being credited with an interest in more new signings, including a player who has been predicted to have a similar skill set to Alvarez.<\/p>\n

Reports in Brazil in recent weeks have seen Arsenal linked with a move for Pereira, with the 16-year-old forward tipped for a bright future.<\/p>\n

There has been a fresh update concerning Pereira\u2019s future and why Arsenal may have a difficult task trying to sign the talented teenager.<\/p>\n

News emerged earlier this week that Pereira signed a new contract to commit his long-term future to Santos.<\/p>\n

“Very happy to sign my first professional contract,\u201d Pereira. \u201cI’ve been here for three years, since the Under-13s, and I hope to achieve my biggest goals, which is to be on the Santos professional team and the Argentina National Team”<\/p>\n

It has been reported by Brazilian news outlet UOL<\/a> that the fresh terms of the contract will run until the summer of 2029 and include a release clause believed to be worth around \u20ac100million (\u00a383.4m), all but ending Arsenal’s pursuit.<\/p>\n

There have also been comparisons made in Brazilian media that Pereira has similar attributes to Alvarez, and the teenager will now be determined to make an impact with Santos after putting pen to paper on a new contract.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen what plans Arsenal have for the transfer window, with a move for Pereira extremely unlikely given the fee needed to get a deal over the line and the 16-year-old only recently signing a new contract.<\/p>\n

Whether the club\u2019s plans will involve trying to sign a player who plays in the same position as Alvarez and Pereira is also unclear.<\/p>\n
