Arsenal\u2019s pursuit of a new left winger has produced its most ambitious possibility yet, with former Premier League manager Alan Pardew predicting that a move for Vin\u00edcius Junior will eventually happen.

The Brazilian has entered the final year of his Real Madrid contract, leaving the Spanish club with a major decision if renewal talks remain unresolved.<\/p>\n

Arsenal are monitoring the situation and reportedly have the financial strength to pursue a club-record agreement, although Pardew\u2019s confident prediction is far ahead of the transfer\u2019s current position.<\/p>\n

Pardew predicts Arsenal to sign Vin\u00edcius Junior<\/h2>\n

According to talkSPORT, as reported by Metro, Pardew believes the attraction of London, Arsenal\u2019s status as Premier League champions and Vin\u00edcius\u2019 uncertain position under Jos\u00e9 Mourinho could convince the winger to move.<\/p>\n

\u2018What a signing that would be. I think this is a deal that will happen,\u2019<\/em> Pardew said on talkSPORT.<\/p>\n

\u2018The reason I think that is he\u2019s got history with Jose Mourinho, he\u2019s at Real Madrid, he\u2019s got a year left on his contract. They\u2019ve been trying to get him to sign a new deal for a long time now.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018When you think about the other side of the coin, the new champions of the Premier League\u2026 you\u2019re in London, you\u2019re not in Newcastle, you\u2019re not in Manchester, you\u2019re in London.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018You\u2019re playing for the champions Arsenal, they\u2019ll put you in a house in Regent\u2019s Park, you can fly in and fly out your family at will because you\u2019ll have enough finance to do it. I think it\u2019s a tempting proposition.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

Pardew added: \u2018That\u2019s a done deal in my book, I think that\u2019s going to happen, more so than Bruno Guimaraes.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018I think it\u2019s their number one target and probably has been for a while.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

Gunners have genuine interest in the Real Madrid attacker<\/h2>\n

Despite Pardew\u2019s confidence, Sky Sports reports that no club-to-club discussions have taken place.<\/p>\n

Arsenal are exploring several forwards, including Julian Alvarez and Bradley Barcola, while Madrid are still attempting to resolve Vin\u00edcius\u2019 contract situation.<\/p>\n

Tactically, Pardew is right that the left wing remains the most obvious area for an elite upgrade.<\/p>\n

Vin\u00edcius would offer pace, unpredictability and proven quality in major European matches, giving Arsenal a devastating attacking balance alongside Bukayo Saka.<\/p>\n

However, calling it a done deal is clearly premature. The transfer would demand an enormous fee, record-breaking wages and a firm indication that Vin\u00edcius actually wants Arsenal.<\/p>\n

The interest appears real, but the player\u2019s decision, not Arsenal\u2019s ambition, will ultimately determine whether this extraordinary move becomes possible.<\/p>\n

Arsenal move for Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior depends on only one condition <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
