Arsene Wenger is interested in Brazilian starlet Gabriel Barbosa to solve his goal-scoring woes, according to reports in his home country.

ESPN Brazil say the Frenchman is mulling over a move for the striker after missing out on Leicester and England hotshot Jamie Vardy.

The 19-year-old revealed he has offers from Europe, but is reluctant to leave his hometown at such a young age.

He said: “Yes, I have offers from some of the big clubs in Europe that interest me, but that is for my parents and my employers but I am happy at Santos.

“That will sort itself out in time. Santos is my home, but we will make a calm decision."
