Arsenal eyeing January swoop for Real Madrid’s Endrick

By on November 11, 2026

Arsenal are reportedly considering making a January swoop to sign Real Madrid forward Endrick, as per talkSPORT.

The Gunners currently have Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke as specialist right-wing options. Moreover, Max Dowman can provide cover in this area if needed.

However, Dowman is still very young and needs time to develop, while Saka has been out since picking up an injury against Bayern Munich last month.

Therefore, Madueke has been playing on the RW in recent games but has displayed inconsistent performances, making just four goal contributions in 13 matches across all competitions.

Now, talkSPORT state that following Saka’s injury, Arsenal are considering strengthening the frontline in January and have identified Endrick as a serious option.

The Brazilian’s long-term future is currently uncertain at Real Madrid as he has featured just 114 minutes thus far this season. So, he could be allowed to leave.

The report state that Premier League clubs were offered the chance to sign Endrick in the last transfer window, but Olympique Lyonnais ultimately managed to sign him on loan.

Endrick to Arsenal

However, Arsenal might be able to win the race for him this time around as their sporting director Andrea Berta has a very good relationship with the player’s representatives.

Mikel Arteta’s top choice to upgrade the attack is AFC Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi, but Marco Rose’s side have made it clear that he is not for sale.

Endrick is valued at around £33m by Transfermarkt and still has a contract until 2030. Therefore, Los Blancos are expected to demand a big fee to sell him.

Endrick is a left-footed versatile forward as he is comfortable on the right flank and in centre-forward positions. He is quick, strong, good in the air, and is efficient in finishing off his chances.

Moreover, he possesses powerful shots. The 20-year-old is considered one of the best young forwards in the world despite his failure to break into Real Madrid’s star-studded starting line-up.

Therefore, he might be a shrewd acquisition for Arsenal should they purchase him. However, it is going to be interesting to see whether the North London club eventually make a concrete approach to secure his services in January.
