Eduardo Conceicao

Arsenal have been linked with a move for Palmeiras youngster Eduardo Conceicao, according to reports from Brazil. The update was first reported by UOL and has sparked fresh interest around the teenager’s future.

The Gunners continue to search for young talents with long term potential. Their recruitment focus stretches across Europe and South America.

Conceicao is the latest name to emerge as part of that ongoing strategy.

Arsenal make early contact

Reports claim Arsenal were the first English side to make contact over the player. Initial checks were made to understand his situation and future plans.

A meeting with the player’s representatives is said to have taken place in London. That discussion reportedly pointed strongly towards Arsenal’s interest.

Conceicao is seen as one of Palmeiras’ leading youth players. He has already been playing above his age level in domestic competitions.

The youngster featured in the Brasileirão Sub-17 at just 15 years old. He later appeared in the Copinha tournament at the age of 16. His performances have drawn attention from clubs inside and outside Brazil.

One match in particular helped raise his profile further. During a 9-0 Copinha win over Batalhão, he made a major impact. Conceicao scored four goals and also provided two assists in that game.

Those displays underlined why Palmeiras rate him so highly. They also explain why European clubs such as Arsenal have started monitoring his progress.

 Contract details

Conceicao mainly plays as an attacking midfielder or from the left side. He is known for close control, creativity, and confidence in one-on-one situations.

Palmeiras recently tied the youngster down to a new contract. That deal includes a release clause believed to be around £86m according to Sport Witness.

Club president Leila Pereira reportedly has high hopes for the player. She believes Conceicao could follow a similar path to recent club departures.

Estevão was sold to Chelsea after rising through the Palmeiras system. Endrick has also moved on and is now a Real Madrid player.

Arsenal are not alone in tracking Conceicao’s development. Several Premier League clubs are also keeping close watch. Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Newcastle United are all monitoring his situation.

This growing interest could complicate any future move. For now, Arsenal remain part of a crowded group following the teenager.

His progress at Palmeiras continues to attract attention across Europe.
