Done Deal: Arsenal agree deal for winger, club confirms move, player poses in the club shirt

Brazilian winger Wellington Silva has left Arsenal and has returned to Brazil to join Fluminense, the Brazilian club has confirmed on their official twitter account.

Silva joined the Gunners in 2010 but he failed to get a work permit that prevented him from playing for Arsenal. Instead, he spent time on loan in Spain with Levante, Alcoyano, Ponferradina, Murcia and Almeria.

Finally, luck favoured him and in the 2015-16 season that he received his work permit to play for the Gunners. Arsenal being choc-a-bloc with attacking midfielders there’s no way he could make his way into the first team plans of Arsene Wenger.
