Arsenal are considering a January loan move for Marquinhos.
The Gunners might send the Sao Paulo-born player to another club in January to get first-team experience, says the London Evening Standard
Mikel Arteta and his team must decide whether Marquinhos would be better served with time elsewhere, or with the opportunities Arsenal's busy 2023 schedule brings.
After the World Cup break, the next three rounds of the League Cup - if they get through against Brighton on Wednesday - will be completed before the end of January, while there are also the third and fourth rounds of the FA Cup to consider.
It may leave Arsenal less likely to consider a loan move away if they think he will be a vital part of the squad during the hectic January fixture list.
