Arsenal to complete Silva transfer before selling

As a result of a buy back clause, former Gunner Wellington Silva is set to re-join Arsenal for €3.5 million from Fluminense, only for the player to then join Bordeaux for around €5 million, according to French paper L’Equipe, as cited by Sport Witness.

They claim that the deal is imminent and that Arsenal have exercised their option to buy the player back, only to then sell to Ligue 1 side Bordeaux immediately.

Wellington Silva joined Arsenal in 2010 and spent six frustrating years with the club, never making a first team appearance, mostly out on loan to clubs in La Liga and also Bolton Wanderers during the 2015/16 season before the Gunners sold the player back to Fluminense.

The wide man has impressed back with Fluminense and has caught the eye of Bordeaux, and Arsenal are set to buy the player back and sell him straight away to make a profit off their former player.
