Arsenal signed 19-year-old Brazilian striker Marquinhos from Sao Paulo on Monday, describing him as "a player for the future."

Marquinhos has represented Brazil at under-16 and under-17 levels and played for Sao Paulo's senior team for the past year, making 33 appearances and being part of the squad which won the Compeonato Paulista in 2021.

Arsenal said Marquinhos will travel to London in the coming weeks ahead of preseason training.

"We’re delighted to have completed the transfer with Sao Paulo," said Edu, Arsenal's Brazilian technical director, "as Marquinhos was a player we had been watching for a while.

"At 19, he is still very young, so he is a player for the future."

Bayern Munich full back Sacha Boey has suffered an ankle ligament injury as his struggle for fitness continues.
Boey had only returned to action late last month after tearing the meniscus in his left knee in September.
“FC Bayern will be without Sacha Boey for the time being after the defender suffered an ankle ligament injury in training,” The Associated Press quoted the club as saying on Tuesday.
Boey joined Bayern from Galatasaray in January but has spent more time out of the squad than in it. Two hamstring tears restricted him to just two Bundesliga games in the 2023-24 season and he's played only eight times in all competitions this season.
