Arsenal tracking Sporting Lisbon's William Carvalho

Arsenal are reportedly monitoring the progress of Sporting Lisbon midfielder William Carvalho, according to The Mirror.

The 21-year-old earned his first cap for the Portuguese senior side as a substitute during his national side's 3-2 win at Sweden in the World Cup qualifying play-offs.


Having spent last term on loan with Belgian outfit Cercle Brugge, the Angolan-born midfielder has played a key role for the Lisbon club under manager Leonardo Jardim this season.


A report from Portuguese newpaper A Bola claims that the Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has asked his scouts to have a close look at the midfield anchorman.
