ARSENAL are considering a swoop for Portuguese teenage winger Matchoi Djalo.

The 18-year-old is available for around £1m and is seen as a long-term prospect by the Gunners.

Djalo (right) is the youngest player to ever play in the Primeira Liga, at 16 years and 122 days

Djalo made his debut for  Portugal top-flight outfit Pacos de Ferreira in August 2019, coming on as a 72nd-minute sub against Benfica.

At the age of 16 years and 122 days, he was the youngest player ever to play in the Primeira Liga.

But his career has stalled since, making just five further appearances – three from the bench – although he has been impressing for Portugal’s Under 19s.

Right-footed Djalo has also illustrated the versatility to play in central midfield.

Djalo has previously been linked with a move to the Premier League back in 2019.

Everton, Southampton and Newcastle were interested in signing the then 16-year-old.

Juventus were also tracking Djalo, but a move never materialised.

Joining the Gunners could be a good move for Djalo.

COMPETITION: SPOT THE BALL TO WIN A CAR AND CASH

The Gunners have a good track record of bringing youngsters through the Hale End academy and into the first team.

Bukayo Saka, 19, rose through the ranks and has become a first team regular and played for England at Euro 2020.

Emile Smith Rowe has also broken into the first team, playing a key role last season, earning himself a new deal and the prestigious No10 shirt.
