Arsenal are reportedly interested in Sao Paulo centre-back Bruno Uvini, and hope that their good relationship with the Brazilian club will give them the edge over others in the race for his signature.

The Gunners recently agreed to let want-away midfielder Denilson join Sao Paulo on loan this upcoming season, despite reportedly being offered a slightly higher loan fee from Fluminense.

The Emirates outfit are now hoping to use the recent Denilson deal to their advantage and land the 20-year-old defender this summer.

Uvini, who has been labelled by the Brazilian media as the ‘next Lucio’, will captain Brazil at the Under-20 World Cup in Colombia later this month, where it is believed that a number of scouts from top European clubs will be monitoring him.

Arsenal’s scouts are expected to attend the tournament, and could step up their interest if the young centre-back impresses.

Uvini, who stands at 6’2”, is currently tied down to Sao Paulo until 2014. However, the Brazilian outfit are hopeful of agreeing a new deal with the stocky defender, which would include a minimum fee release clause, in order to scare of interested clubs.
