After making his debut with America Mineiro, the 20-year-old progressed to Fluminense, before moving to Watford this season.
Despite the start, he could not carry on his form and hasn’t scored in all competitions since November.
The U-20 Brazil star had admitted that he was having problems getting accustomed to life in England after a good start.
“Teams are already marking me individually, they are putting two players there on my side. Unfortunately, it’s difficult, but I’m doing what I can. I’m facing them, I’m making assists, I’m trying to score my goals. I’ll keep working to keep bringing the results”, he had said.
Arsenal is also said to be planning to make a move for the Brazilian.
