Some Arsenal fans on Twitter are excited by the prospect of signing Joelson Fernandes this summer.
According to A Bola today, the Gunners held talks with Sporting Lisbon over signing the 17-year-old winger yesterday.
Joelson is one of the most exciting teenagers around, evident by the fact it’ll cost Arsenal £41 million to get him.
It’s a hell of a sum to pay for a teenager who is unproven, but the North Londoners seem keen nonetheless.
And here’s how Arsenal supporters reacted on Twitter to the idea of bringing him to the Emirates Stadium.
There’s a few things which don’t make sense here, but most of all is the fact he’s a winger – a right-winger, too.
Nicolas Pepe is also a right-sided wide player, so are Arsenal really going to spend that amount of money on a player who operates in the same role as their £72 million signing?
It’s a tad baffling, but the intel looks reliable so time will tell what their plan is here.
