Arsenal and Aston Villa are fighting for benchwarmer

Arsenal are interested in signing Endrick, with the Gunners having monitored the Brazilian forward for some time as he struggles to establish himself at Real Madrid. The teenager has found regular opportunities difficult to secure in Spain, creating the possibility that he could consider a move elsewhere to gain more playing time.

However, Arsenal are not alone in their pursuit, as Aston Villa have also emerged as serious admirers of the forward. Unai Emery’s side believe Endrick could be an important addition to their squad and are keen to bring him to the Premier League if an opportunity becomes available.

Villa have continued to make progress under Emery and have shown that they can attract talented players who want regular football and the chance to demonstrate their abilities. That could make them an appealing destination for Endrick, particularly given his current situation at Real Madrid.

Villa have been pursuing Endrick for months

Endrick has struggled to make himself a regular figure at Real Madrid, and there is a possibility that the Spanish club could allow him to leave on loan during the January transfer window. Aston Villa have been working towards that possibility, hoping to convince Madrid and the player that a move to England would benefit his development.

According to Sport Witness, Arsenal are now entering the race after Villa spent several months trying to bring the Brazilian to the Premier League. The Gunners have admired him for a long time and remain interested in taking advantage of his limited opportunities in Spain.

Villa would view his arrival as an opportunity to strengthen their attacking options with one of the most highly regarded young talents in European football. Regular minutes could also help Endrick develop and gain the experience he has struggled to obtain at Madrid.
