Arsenal's opening bid for Corinthians right-back Matheuzinho is rejected, according to reports. Mikel Arteta faces an impending shakeup in his right-back options. Ben White grows frustrated with limited playing time, as Jurrien Timber steps up, scoring in Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea. White draws interest from Everton and Newcastle United, prompting Arsenal to seek a replacement. Brazilian outlet RTI Esporte states Matheuzinho is a key target for sporting director Andrea Berta, who has monitored the 25-year-old since last season. Matheuzinho boasts a €100million exit clause for clubs outside Brazil, while Brazilian clubs can sign him for €50m. Arsenal’s financial commitment appears unlikely to meet those figures. Other options include Newcastle's Tino Livramento, Brentford’s Michael Kayode, and Ivan Fresneda from Sporting CP. Livramento is the top choice, with Newcastle expected to demand £70-80m.
