#2 Arsenal eyeing January move for Andreas Pereira

Andreas Pereira has grown frustrated due to lack of playing chances at Old Trafford

Andreas Pereira was one of the many unhappy figures struggling to make a mark at Old Trafford during Jose Mourinho's reign. Given the scarcity of minutes he has had to cope with, the Brazilian is now keen on embracing the exit door at the club.

Despite Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's assurances regarding more playing time, Pereira is out of patience and willing to join another club in January, the reports suggest.

Arsenal are said to be interested in offering the 22-year-old a way out of the club. With Aaron Ramsey set to leave the club, Unai Emery views Andreas Pereira as the perfect replacement for the Welshman. Everton and West Ham are also keen on landing him.

All the three clubs have reportedly contacted Pereira's agent directly and now it is up to the player to choose his next destination.
