Arsenal eye Endrick in January after Fabrizio Romano's Daily report

Arsenal are monitoring the Endrick situation closely as the 20‑year‑old Brazilian prepares to discuss his future with Real Madrid during the upcoming international break, a development that could shape the club's January transfer strategy.

Why Arsenal need a new forward

Endrick, a former Palmeiras forward, has struggled for regular minutes at the Bernabeu, leaving his development stalled despite his reputation as a top young talent. Arsenal have been linked with him before, but no agreement materialised, leaving a gap in Mikel Arteta’s attack that the club hopes to fill.

Deal dynamics and competing interest

According to a TEAMtalk report, the Gunners have maintained contact with Endrick and are revisiting the prospect ahead of the January window. The same source notes that Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Fulham also expressed interest during the summer.

Fabrizio Romano told the Daily Briefing that Liverpool showed a stronger interest in the Brazilian over the summer, a detail that adds weight to the competitive environment surrounding any potential move.

Endrick is set to hold talks with Real Madrid in the weeks ahead, aiming to resolve concerns about his lack of playing time. The outcome of those discussions will influence whether Arsenal can secure his signature or if the talks simply accelerate his departure from Los Blancos.

Arsenal’s renewed focus on Endrick aligns with recent reports suggesting the club may need a more reliable option up front, especially as Viktor Gyokeres is reportedly exploring a January exit. While Endrick’s potential is high, his immediate impact remains uncertain.

Should the January window open with Endrick available, Arsenal will need to navigate both his contractual situation at Real Madrid and the interest from other Premier League clubs, making the upcoming talks a pivotal moment for all parties.
