Arsenal have made an initial enquiry about the availability of highly rated Porto winger William Gomes, according to Globo.
The 20-year-old Brazilian prodigy has taken Europe by storm since moving from Sao Paulo to Portugal in early 2025.
Gomes was instrumental in helping Porto win the Primeira Liga last season.
Operating mainly as an inverted winger, his blend of dynamic dribbling and clinical finishing yielded 13 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Gomes signals a clear intent to reinforce their options in wide areas.
His ability to drive into the box from the touchline, beat defenders in one-on-one situations, and unleash powerful strikes with his favoured left foot would add a different dimension to their attack.
However, a deal for the ‘incredible‘ Brazilian will not come cheap. Gomes is under contract with the Portuguese giants until June 2029 and has a substantial €80 millionm (£69.3m) release clause.
Atletico Madrid are also pushing hard to sign Gomes, while Manchester United are actively monitoring the situation.
Despite the fierce competition and hefty price tag, Arsenal’s early enquiry shows that they are prepared to be active in the transfer market this summer.
