Arsenal are reportedly hopeful of striking a loan deal for Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior in the January transfer window.

The 20-year-old has already struck three times and provided three assists for Real across all competitions this season, but his future at the Bernabeu remains uncertain.

Vinicius's teammate Isco has also been linked with a switch to the Emirates, but the Spain international is reportedly keen to move to a club competing in the Champions League.

However, the Daily Star claims that Los Blancos are willing to entertain offers for Vinicius in January, and Arsenal have identified the Brazil international as a potential answer to their goalscoring problems.

The report suggests that a loan deal next month could be on the cards, and on Arsenal's side, William Saliba could also be allowed to leave temporarily following his difficult start to life in North London.

Vinicius still has four-and-a-half years left to run on his current Bernabeu deal, but the winger is not a guaranteed starter under Zinedine Zidane.
