Arsenal are reportedly planning to launch a formal proposal to sign Atalanta star Ederson, as per a recent report.

The Gunners currently have Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Mikel Merino, and Christian Norgaard as options to deploy in the deeper midfield positions.

However, Norgaard has found himself on the periphery since joining from Brentford last summer, failing to start a single Premier League fixture this term.

On the other hand, Merino has been out injured over the last few months. As a result, Rice and Zubimendi have been taking on enormous workloads this season.

Norgaard is set to turn 33 next year and has a contract until 2027, with Arsenal having an option to extend his deal for one more year. So, it appears the North London club have already started exploring options to replace the Dane.

Now, as per a recent report (via TEAMtalk), Arsenal have registered their interest in Ederson, but Atlético de Madrid, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are also in this race.

Los Rojiblancos have agreed on personal terms with the Brazilian and are preparing to launch a formal £33m proposal, including bonuses, to seal the deal.
