Arsenal have reportedly targeted 17-year-old Flamengo striker Reinier Jesus as a potential replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ahead of next summer.
Reports have suggested that Aubameyang, the club's top scorer this season, was considering an exit from the Emirates amid the club's continued struggles under Unai Emery.
Fears of the Gabonese forward leaving increased last month following the player's decision to postpone contract talks with the North London club.
According to The Sun, Arsenal are monitoring the Brazilian starlet ahead of potentially losing Aubameyang in the summer transfer window.
Reinier has impressed Arsenal scouts with his performances for the Brazilian league leaders this term, netting four goals in 12 appearances.
It has been suggested that Aubameyang was being touted by Barcelona as a potential replacement for Luis Suarez.
