Marquinhos has been recalled from his loan spell at Ligue 1 side FC Nantes, where he has been since the start of the season.
The 20-year-old Brazil youth international will soon join up with his under-23 national team for their 2024 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament held in Venezuela.
Our forward will be working hard to ensure Brazil are one of the two South American national teams that qualify for the 2024 Olympics Men’s Football Tournament hosted in France this summer.
Marquinhos announced himself by scoring a fine goal on his Gunners debut in our 2-1 Europa League win over FC Zurich back in September 2022, having signed for us from Sao Paulo the previous summer. He made his Premier League debut in our next match, a 3-0 win at Brentford, before joining Championship side Norwich City on loan last January.
Before arriving in England, Marquinhos had a year’s experience with his hometown club, having made his senior debut soon after his 18th birthday, helping his side win the Sao Paulo State Championship in 2021.
We welcome Marquinhos back to the club and wish him all the best for the international tournament and his continued development.
