Arsenal consider move for Portuguese sensation

Arsenal are heavily scouting, Benfica star, Goncalo Guedes, according to the Evening Standard. 

The Gunners have been linked with a move for the Benfica forward over the last few months. Arsenal scouts were present earlier in the week as Guedes scored two goals against Guimaraes in the Cup on Tuesday. 

There had been reports that the youngster was close to joining French side, Paris Saint-Germain but Arsenal have been assured that no deal is in place. 

Although Arsenal are unlikely to make a bid this month, a move for the youngster in the summer is a real possibility. He has a £52 million release clause in his contract, while Benfica have rejected a £25 million bid from Valencia.
