The Brazil international is under pressure at Real Madrid, where talks over a new deal are still unresolved, and Arsenal are watching closely with serious interest in a left-sided forward. The betting angle is simple enough. Arsenal are priced at 6/5 to land him, but the market is still leaning on hope rather than certainty because this is a deal with multiple moving parts. Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho want…

I’ve been trying to collect for the last 10 years, but there’s always an excuse. I’m used to this. You get it from time to time. Someone moves in and tries to…
