Arsene Wenger has denied he is ready to beat Liverpool and Tottenham to the signing of Brazilian starlet Bernard.
The Gunners transfer policy regularly sees the club picking up bright talents, and the 20-year-old winger was reportedly on Wenger's radar.
French sports daily L'Equipe had claimed that a deal had been agreed and that the diminutive speedster would be arriving in London after the conclusion of the Copa Libertadores early on Thursday morning.
But Wenger has denied the club are in for the winger and told Mirror Football: "That report is not true".
A host of clubs have been in the hunt for Bernard - who featured twice for Brazil in their Confederations Cup win this summer - including Dortmund, Shakhtar Donetsk and Porto.
