Arsenal youngster rumoured to be moving back to Brazil

The Express reports that Arsenal winger Wellington Silva could be moving back to Brazilian side Fluminense, after the star posted a vague Snapchat message.

The 23-year-old posted a photo of a Fluminense jersey onto his personal Snapchat, adding the caption “A good son always returns home.” The Brazilian side is where he started his professional career, signing for Arsenal in January 2010.

Silva hasn’t actually made an appearance in the main Arsenal squad, although he has played for the reserves. He has been on loan to multiple clubs over the last six seasons, with the most recent side being relegated Championship side Bolton.

The rumours contrast with another social media post, with Silva uploading a photo of his Arsenal training jersey onto Facebook last week before the start of training. It’s not known whether the potential move back to Brazil will be permanent or another loan move.

Arsenal are getting ready for their pre-season matches, with the first being against RC Lens on July 22. Their first Premier League match next season will be against Liverpool at the Emirates.
