At the tender age of 17, Pedrinho exhibits remarkable skills as a left winger, despite being naturally right-footed. He currently represents Corinthians, showcasing his talent at the club level. Throughout the current season, he has already made 15 appearances for the first team, netting an impressive tally of five goals. Drawing comparisons to the legendary Ronaldinho, Pedrinho has also donned the jersey of the Brazilian national team in the under 16 category.
While his contract includes a release clause valued at £43.5 million, it is worth noting that Brazilian clubs often face financial constraints and are often willing to negotiate player transfers for considerably lower amounts.
Recognizing the potential in the South American talent pool, Arsenal has turned their attention to this region in their quest for fresh and promising players. Their success story includes the rise of Gabriel Martinelli, who was discovered from relative obscurity and has seamlessly transitioned into a key player under the guidance of Mikel Arteta. Martinelli's exceptional performances have even earned him a call-up to the senior Brazilian national team.
Unsurprisingly, Arsenal is not the sole Premier League club keenly monitoring Pedrinho's development. Brighton and Newcastle United have also expressed interest in the young prodigy, keen to stay informed about his current situation.
