Gabriel Magalhaes urges Arsenal to pursue summer move for Real Madrid 'phenomenon' Rodrygo as Brazil team-mate's future remains uncertain

Arsenal should step up their attempts to sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo this summer, according to his Brazil team-mate Gabriel Magalhaes.

Rodrygo has emerged as a top target for the Gunners, who are looking to add firepower to a team that has finished second in the Premier League three seasons running.

A new striker is the priority but a versatile attacking player is also wanted by manager Mikel Arteta.

Rodrygo put big clubs across Europe on alert when he reportedly told Madrid he never wanted to play for them again having refused to feature in last month's El Clasico against Barcelona.
