Marquinhos

According to reports from The Daily Star, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are targeting PSG defender Marquinhos ahead of the summer transfer window. 

The Brazil international is widely regarded as one of the most exciting young defenders in the world but has failed to claim a first-team spot from countrymen Thiago Silva and David Luiz since his 2013 transfer to Parc de Princes.

He’s made just 15 starts in Ligue 1 so far this season and The Daily Star, citing Spanish publication Fichajes, claim the 21-year-old is likely to leave the French champions during the summer transfer window.

Chelsea and Manchester United have been linked with Marquinhos for some time, whilst Fichajes report on transfer interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal as well.

However, the English trio could face insurmountable competition in the form of Barcelona, with the European champions also chasing the 6-foot ace – who can operate as a right-back or a centre-half.
