Marquinhos made 33 first team appearances during his time with Sao Paulo and was a part of the squad which won the Compeonato Paulista in 2021.
All the big clubs have been keeping a very close eye on his performances – his ability and his very low asking price – but Arsenal made their moves very quickly to try and secure his services and after months of talks – that is exactly what they did
They confirmed on the club website: ‘Everyone at Arsenal welcomes Marquinhos to the club.
‘The transfer is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.’
Marquinhos is expected to link up with the club for pre-season, where the coaching staff will get a closer insight into the talent of the 19-year-old, before deciding whether a loan move is the best for the winger in the infancy of his career.
And ahead of his imminent arrival at the Emirates – Martineeli was one of the first to welcome the exciting attacker to the club – On his instagram, the new Gunners no.11 reacted to the new signing with love and support, writing “Welcome brother. We’re together”
Technical Director Edu has opened up and told Gunners fans why the club were so eager to bring Marquinhos to the Premier League this summer
Edu said: “We’re delighted to have completed the transfer with Sao Paulo, as Marquinhos was a player we had been watching for a while.
“At 19, he is still very young, so he is a player for the future. We look forward to Marquinhos now joining us for pre-season, making his new home, and continuing to grow and develop with us.”
