After coming through Fluminense’s youth system, the 20-year-old made his first-team debut in 2023. Having been impressed by his performances for the Brazilian side, Shakhtar Donetsk decided to purchase him last year. Initially, the youngster took time to settle into his new surroundings before showing glimpses of his qualities last campaign, making 13 goal contributions across all competitions. This season, the Brazilian has enjoyed a promising start, scoring three goals in as many appearances in the Ukrainian Premier League. Now, TEAMtalk claim that Arsenal are considering signing Elias after monitoring his development closely. They sent scouts to watch him in action against Kudrivka earlier this month, where he helped his side win the game 5-1 by scoring a perfect hat-trick. Therefore, the Gunners have intensified their attention in recent weeks. With the player’s existing deal set to run until 2029, Shakhtar Donetsk aren’t in any rush to sell him and value the player at around £30m. However, the report state that Arsenal aren’t the only club interested in Elias, as Manchester United are also in this race, and they also sent scouts to watch the forward closely against Kudrivka. Elias to Arsenal Moreover, FC Porto and AC Milan are interested in him, while several other European teams have kept a close eye on his development. But the Premier League clubs are currently viewed as the strongest contenders financially to seal the deal. Arsenal currently have Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres as options to deploy in the striker position. However, the Brazilian has had numerous fitness problems since joining from Manchester City. He has entered the final few months of his current contract. So, speculation surrounding his future has been emerging. On the other hand, Havertz has also had injury problems in recent seasons, while Gyokeres displayed average performances in his debut Premier League campaign after joining from Sporting CP last summer. So, it appears Arsenal are planning to upgrade the frontline. Elias is a talented player and possesses high potential. Therefore, he might be a shrewd acquisition for the North London club with a view to the long-term future should they purchase him.
