Forgotten Arsenal star Wellington Silva set for new contract
ARSENAL youngster Wellington Silva is set to be handed a new deal at the club according to reports.
The Brazilian winger signed for Arsenal in 2011 but is yet to make an appearance due to the lack of a work permit.
He was sent on loan by boss Arsene Wenger to various Spanish clubs, including Levante and Almeria, where he made 31 appearances last season.
However, the 22-year-old was granted a Spanish passport in April giving him European Union citizenship and can now finally join up with Arsenal.
According to ESPN FC, Wenger is keen to give the Wellington a new long-term deal with just one year remaining on his current deal.
They also claim Wellington could be sent out on loan again next season to get accustomed with English football.
