By racking up seven goals and seven assists in just 18 appearances across all competitions, Endrick has completely reignited the massive hype surrounding his long-term potential.<\/p>\n<p>That kind of elite, explosive production is exactly why Mikel Arteta\u2019s title-chasing Arsenal viewed him as a perfect, high-upside fit for their squad.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the massive financial pull of the English top flight, Real Madrid are ruthlessly slamming the door shut.<\/p>\n<p>Sources confirm that the Spanish giants have directly informed both Arsenal and Chelsea that the Brazilian will be returning to the Bernabeu, as he is firmly part of their first-team plans for next season.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-stories std-mgn-b\">&#13;<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<header class=\"col-s-12
