Arsenal are rumoured to have begun talks with a 20-year-old talent from Brazil. The Gunners will once again be no doubt looking to refresh their squad in the summer, having done so when bringing in the likes of Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi in 2025. But with Andrea Berta already working his magic behind the scenes, it seems Arsenal have stolen a march on another emerging star from South America.

There was a moment of showboating followed by several of chaos. Memphis Depay stood with both feet on the ball as Corinthians ticked towards glory in the Paulista A1 final against Palmeiras, sparking a mass brawl that eventually led to a player from each side sent off. The move enraged not only the opposition but also the Brazilian football federation, which responded by suggesting the act was a "provocation to a rival and disrespects the game", one punishable by a yellow card.

Corinthians have suffered just a single defeat from any of their last 10 matchups at the Neo Quimica Arena across all competitions, showcasing their strength at home.

Corinthians will be desperate to use their Copa do Brasil performance as a platform to build on, looking to claim consecutive wins for the first time since May.

Corinthians have struggled since their last title, achieving only two Copa Libertadores qualifications in the past eight years while currently sitting 10th with 16 points in Serie A.

Gremio has turned a corner in their campaign, securing three consecutive wins, four clean sheets, and maintaining a solid defensive record, showing promise for upcoming matches.
