Arsenal after Rodrigo.

Arsene Wenger has set his sights upon signing Benfica winger Rodrigo, after a move to the Russian club broke down. 

It is thought that Zenit have already had a ÂŁ25m bid for Rodrigo accepted, but the player has some doubts about a move to Russia, after Zenit had tabled a ÂŁ25 million bid of the youngster. 

Arsenal are looking at a loan deal, with a view to extending it if Rodrigo wishes to. 

The Brazilian born- Spanish winger had a spell at Bolton Wanderers in the 2010/11 campaign, and a move to England may tempt the impressive winger back to our shores. 

But it also appears Valencia are tracking the winger, after new found investment, the La Liga giants are pulling out all the stocks to sign him. 

But the player also has strong links to Spain having started his career at Real Madrid, and has represented the Under 21 National team. 

Rodrigo has scored seven goals in 14 league matches for Benfica this season, and would seem like the perfect stop-gap for a team in need of striking reinforcements without the long team investment.
