Arsenal is reportedly keeping a close eye on Vanderson, the talented right-back from Monaco, as they consider a potential transfer. The Brazilian has made a significant impact in Ligue 1, raising interest from larger clubs, despite previous links not leading to concrete offers.

The Gunners appear to have strategic plans for their right-back position. Earlier this year, Fichajes linked them with Vanderson, and they have also explored the situation of Ivan Fresneda. Recently, Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur confirmed Arsenal's ongoing interest in Vanderson through a post on X, stating:

Arsenal remain interested in Monaco right-back Vanderson. The club have continued to assess the Brazilian defender in recent weeks, keeping him under close watch as one of their long-standing targets.

As Arsenal navigates their options, it raises questions about whether Vanderson remains a top priority or is one of several candidates for the right-back role.

Considering the current squad, Arsenal could benefit from additional long-term options at right-back. They currently have two solid players in Jurrien Timber and Ben White, but both have faced significant injuries recently. This situation is likely a concern for Mikel Arteta, who needs a robust squad capable of competing across four competitions.

Interestingly, Arsenal retained White during the summer despite uncertainties regarding his future, and at 28, he may not have many peak years left ahead.
