According to the Brazilian press, Arsenal have made contract with Barcelona target, Douglas Santos.

The 22-year-old left-back is currently with Atletico Mineiro and has been a key member of the first team, particularly last season. Brazilian outlet Hoje Em Dia reckons we can get him for around £7.7m, which is a fair amount if Barca really do want him as back-up to Jordi Alba, as they claim.

It does seem as if we’re on the hunt for a left-back. The link with Ricardo Rodriguez doesn’t appear to be going away any time soon and now this latest rumour surrounding Santos… Whether this means one or both Kieran Gibbs and Nacho Monreal are leaving, I’m not sure. The first I would say is more likely but I do have a niggling feeling that Monreal could be off sooner than we think.

On a bright note, let’s take a look at Santos’ highlights, shall we?
