However, Kevin still has to agree with the huts, although the clubs complete a deal.

He would become Marco Silva’s second signing of the transfer window.

The arrival of goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte in July is still the only business in the club this summer.

The midfielder signed the Gunners in a deal worth £ 27.

Kevin came to Shakhtar from Palmeiras in his homeland in Brazil in January 2024.

Since then he has scored 17 goals and achieved ten assists in 57 appearances in all competitions for the club.
