Arsenal have reportedly made a £9m approach for Corinthians midfielder Paulinho.
The 23-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Inter Milan this summer, but according to The Times, the Gunners have moved to the head of the queue.
The Brazilian, who has one international cap to his name, scored 11 goals in 56 games for Corinthians last season.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has reportedly made a goalscoring midfielder his number one priority this summer.
