New Neymar heading to London?
Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa, the new Santos wonderkid who’s labelled as being the next Neymar Jr, has been at the centre of enquiries by English Premier League outfit Arsenal along with a whole host of other clubs around the world.
The 19-year-old Brazilian, who recently scored on his international debut prior to the start of the Copa America Centenario, has emerged as one of the leading young sensations in world football after scoring 54 goals in 148 games for Santos.
The teenager’s agent confirmed that an unnamed club had made an official bid for the Arsenal target while other teams such as Hebei China Fortune from the Chinese super league and an unnamed Serie A side have both made formal approaches to sign the young Brazilian.
According to his agent however, Gabriel wishes to remain at Santos because he believes he is too young and would prefer to stay one more year.
If he has another sensational season that reported €50 million asking price might just increase.
