Gunners to sign Brazilian ace?

Arsenal are thought to be considering a move for Wolfsburg's Brazilian international midfielder Josue.

The Gunners have spent the season scouting Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko, and they have also been impressed by Josue's powerful displays in midfield.

It is widely accepted that Arsenal lack bite and experience in central midfield, and the 29-year-old would provide both qualities. He has performed consistently this season, and has broken into Dunga's Brazilian national squad.

Wolfsburg, who are on the verge of securing the Bundesliga title, would be keen to hang onto the player. However, Josue is thought to have been unsettled by the potential departure of boss Felix Magath, and he could be tempted by the chance to play Premier League football.
