Arsenal have done well to groom young players in the past, and they could help the 16-year-old fulfill his potential. He could be a solid long-term asset for them.
Arsenal are looking to build a team for the future, and the South American could be a future asset to the club. Arsenal have several top quality defenders, and the Brazilian could learn from them and improve as a player if he eventually makes the move.
