Chelsea, Arsenal set to lock horns over impressive Brazilian

Chelsea and Arsenal are set for a transfer battle for 22-year-old Athletico Paranaense midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.

The Brazilian is attracting attention from both clubs according to the Daily Mail after an impressive display this season.

He has been an option for Chelsea for a while, since before their transfer ban.

Guimaraes has been capped for the U-23 squad and Benfica as well as Atletico Madrid are keen on him.

The Sun report that he has provided two goals and one assist this season so far, in 25 appearances.

Despite a busy upcoming transfer window for both of them, they will both be after the Rio-born star.

Arsenal for one, could be losing Granit Xhaka who looks set to be joining Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin.
