Arsenal Transfer: Brazilian winger in demand, talks ongoing

Sevilla based newspaper Estadio Deportivo.

Wellington joined the Gunners in 2011 from Brazilian club Fluminense for a reported fee of €4m. However, the 22-year-old has yet to make any first team appearances for the Gunners, and has spent all these time plying trade on loans.

The Brazilian didn’t get “Special Talent Visa” work permit to continue with Arsenal, as a result he was sent on loan immediately. The last two seasons, he has played in Spanish clubs for Murcia and Almeria. Last season he impressed everyone, managing 31 appearances and six assists to his name.
