Marquinhos was also being tracked by Wolves (Picture: Getty)The teenager moves to the Emirates in a deal worth around £3million, with the Gunners having negotiated a fee directly with Sao Paulo, and has signed a ‘long-term’ contract. ‘We’re delighted to have completed the transfer with Sao Paulo, as Marquinhos was a player we had been watching for a while,’ Edu told the club’s official website. Arsenal have two more matches in the US shortly after that, against Orlando City and Chelsea, before flying back for the Emirates Cup at the end of July. Marquinhos is unlikely to be the last signing Arsenal make this summer, with Arteta in the market for a new central striker, two central midfielders and new full-backs to provide cover and competition for Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
