Under the article, theres a subheading for related articles.

The first related story is that arsenal have signed morata on loan for 6 months.

This is why no one rates your info Daily Express.

Fix up!

Portuguese daily Record have splashed their paper and website with news that the Gunners are moving full steam ahead in an effort to sign Sporting Lisbon’s midfield starlet William Carvalho.

The article in Record is headlined “Arsenal are carefully looking at William Carvalho”, with the sub-headline “Wenger has asked for a detailed report”.

The main thrust of the article in Record appears to hinge on the report that Arsène Wenger has asked for a dossier on the player both on and off the pitch. The deep interest which the Professor is supposedly taking in the Sporting #14 hints at Arsenal have a real interest in the player above the usual paper talk.

Of course, claims that Arsenal are interested in Carvalho are not that new.

The tabloid press in England have linked the Gunners with the 21-year-old over the past few days, and it’s difficult to know whether Record have the inside scoop on a potential deal or whether the Portuguese paper are just rehashing the stories printed in the likes of the Star.

21-year-old Carvalho is one of the hottest stars in Portugal, and the new Patrick Vieira has completed a fantastic first half of the season with current Liga Sagres leaders Sporting Lisbon.

Whether Arsenal can land William Carvalho remains questionable however because of the youngster’s complicated ownership structure. Sporting only own 60% of Carvalho, while another company, BES, own 40%.

While Arsenal would have to overcome the obstacles of Carvalho’s ownership, then there is also the fee involved in the transfer. Carvalho is under contract at Sporting until 2018, and has a massive €45m buyout clause.

His agent must be smiling ear to ear!

We need a player like him. Tall strong and can bully people in the middle of the park.

absolute beast this guy is better than pogba and bender this is the guy we need next to ramsey. Bosses midfields incredible athleticism and great tactically and on the ball.

Best thing is he is very defensive minded. After the euros this guys name will be on peoples lips mark my words

He's 21 and not proven in one of the big leagues, is he that good we need to take the chance?

He has been linked with United for a whole. What is clear is Sporting sell their players very expensive and we have to pay top dollar for him

he's a full international and a starter for portugal

players can only prove themselves when they get the opportunity, he is top quality however a class above bender probably on the same class as pogba but more defensive.

He would definitely suit our requirements better than pogba

Only 90 odd days to find out how he handles real pressure.
