‘Damn!’, ‘Absolute loss’, ‘So sad’ – some fans are stunned Brentford signed Dasilva

On Tuesday, Brentford confirmed the signing of Arsenal midfielder Josh Dasilva, after the 19-year-old opted against a new deal with the Gunners, and many supporters have been shocked by his decision.

Dasilva made the move from Arsenal due to a lack of first-team football and is hoping he will get more opportunities at Griffin Park. Some fans believe Arsenal have let a gem go by failing to tie the midfielder down to a long-term deal, while many have praised Brentford for signing such a talented player.

The England u20 international, who made seven appearances for the youth side, has been congratulated and given well-wishes by supporters who are surprised this four-year deal has taken place.
