Arsenal have made an approach for Brazil left-back Douglas Santos, according to reports.

Santos, 22, is also being looked at by Liverpool as both clubs look to improve their options at full back.

The Gunners are hoping to add competition for Nacho Monreal and are likely to sell Kieran Gibbs.

Both have also looked at Ben Chilwell but Leicester are demanding around £10million for his services.

But reports in Brazil claim Arsenal and Valencia have approached Atletico Mineiro over his availability.

Santos, capped once by Brazil, signed for Mineiro on a permanent deal in 2015 after spending time on loan from Udinese.

He agreed a four-year deal but could be available for around £7.5m (€10m).
