Arsenal outcast Marquinhos is set to return to Brazil and join Fluminense on loan... as the Gunners monitor Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams ahead of a potential summer move

Arsenal winger Marquinhos is finalising his loan move to Fluminense.

The 20-year old had a season loan to Nantes cut short last month after he expressed a desire to play for Brazil U23s at the Pre-Olympic tournament which finished on Sunday.

Fluminense are paying a loan fee and could try to make the move permanent in the summer.

Marquinhos joined the Gunners from Sao Paulo in the summer of 2022, signing a long-term contract.

However, he struggled for gametime, playing just six times in the first half of the 2022-23 campaign before joining Norwich City on loan in January 2023.
