Arsenal winger Marquinhos has joined Norwich on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old has made six appearances for Mikel Arteta's side since joining from Sao Paolo last summer.

He will wear the number 13 shirt for the Canaries where he will link up with former SĂŁo Paulo team-mate Gabriel Sara once again.

Speaking at the announcement of his transfer, Marquinhos said: "I'm really happy to arrive here in Norwich and very excited to play my first game.

"I've learnt a lot as part of my adaptation here in England. It's totally different to Brazil. It's more intensive but I'm adapting well in order to help Norwich.

"I'm also really happy to get to know a new club, a new culture and a new city. The fans can expect that I'll show desire."
