Brazilian star linked with Arsenal transfer

Arsenal have reportedly been associated with a switch for Shakhtar Donetsk forward Douglas Costa this summer, according to The Mail.

The 23-year-old is understood to be seeking a fresh challenge away from the Ukrainian giants, because of the continous conflict in the country.

According to The Mail, Costa's representatives are understood to have started the search for a new club, with the Gunners considered as one among the suitors.

This is what Costa has to say regarding the condition in Ukraine : “I like the club, the people, the city, but I’m afraid. We want to stay at the club, but we must have risk-free working conditions.”
