The Arsenal fans in the Transfer Tavern have been delighted about their start to the campaign, despite a relatively frustrating draw with arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
After Arsene Wenger finally splashed the cash in the transfer market, the Gunners look like genuine title contenders, though the north London locals propping up the bar have been here before.
While there’s a doubt as to whether the Emirates giants can really pull off this sort of form during the business end of the campaign, reports emanating out of Italy have only added further excitement to the fans in the bar.
According to TransferMarketWeb, the club are scouting Porto midfielder Otavio as the 21-year-old continues to impress with Dragões.
The Brazilian has come on leaps and bounds since moving to Europe from Internacional in his homeland and the Portuguese giants have a rich history in selling on talents to big European leagues for huge money.
Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and Premier League rivals Manchester United are understood to be in the mix, with the player said to have a release clause of around £53.5m.
