What happened. Arsenal are reportedly interested in Vinícius Júnior, but the Brazilian has just signed a new contract with Real Madrid, making a move unlikely.

• Glenn Hoddle's 2002 quote about Rivaldo is compared to Arsenal's pursuit.
• Tottenham missed out on Rivaldo, signed Robbie Keane instead.
• Arsenal might now target Cristian Romero, per speculation.

“We were so close … At the end of the day, really, they made him an offer he couldn’t refuse …”

— Glenn Hoddle

Arsenal may need to look elsewhere, with Romero mentioned as a possible target.
