Arsenal have reportedly made contact with FC Porto over a potential summer deal for winger Pepê.
 

Previous reports have suggested that the 28-year-old could leave the Portuguese giants in the current transfer window.

According to ESPN Brazil, Pepê has attracted interest from four Premier League clubs in recent days — believed to be Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Fulham, and newly-promoted Burnley.

Now, it appears that Arsenal have also entered the race.

Portuguese outlet Record claims the Gunners have reached out to Porto regarding a potential move for the Brazilian international.

Mikel Arteta's side are understood to have asked about the conditions of a possible deal, with Porto open to selling — but only on a permanent basis.
