Arsenal sign pre-contract deal with Brazilian striker, say reports
Arsenal have signed a pre-contract agreement with Brazilian striker Lenny, according to reports in South America.
The 20-year-old striker, who currently plays for Brazilian side Palmeiras, is said to have signed a deal that means he will sign for the Gunners in the January transfer window.
Lenny's Palmeiras deal is due to expire in December, although it is reported that he will be sent out on loan to Spain to gain first-team experience and a work permit.
Arsenal have an agreement with feeder club Salamanca to loan them a striker or goalkeeper in January.
Mexican striker Carlos Vela enjoyed loan spells with Celta Vigo and Osasuna among others, where he impressed before returning to the Emirates with a work permit in time for this season.
Arsene Wenger's side are said to have bid 3m for Lenny in 2007, which was rejected.
