Arsenal fans on Twitter are happy about one transfer rumour to come out of Portugal.
According to Record, the Gunners are interested in Sporting Lisbon sensation Joelson Fernandes.
Joelson, who turned 17 in February, has a release clause of £40 million and has been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, Record adds.
It’s been a boring few months for Arsenal on the transfer speculation front.
That’s because Mikel Arteta’s side are predominantly being linked to defensive-minded players, like midfielder Thomas Partey plus an array of centre-backs.
But Joelson is a winger – and a very talented one – and here’s how Arsenal supporters reacted to the speculation on Twitter.
Despite the excitement, will it happen? Well, no.
The next Ronaldo or not, the Gunners haven’t got £40 million to spend on teenagers at this moment in time, but the good news is that no other club will be spending that on Joelson either.
We’re in the middle of a global health emergency that is wreaking havoc on every club’s finances and whether you’re Arsenal or Real Madrid, you won’t be spending £40 million on 17-year-olds.
