Speculations have it that Arsenal is set to announce their first major signing of the summer with
Brazilian sensational Bernard the new signing. Many sources were reacting to ESPN
reports of a deal being struck between the two clubs.
It was reported that Arsenal had agreed to pay the €25m for the Atletico Mineiro man to bring him to the Premier League. However the source which
came in the form of a tweet seems to be a rumour and no official
reference point seems to exist.
Bernard, who plays on the left side of the midfield, was part of Brazil’s
Confederations Cup winning squad and is considered one of the hottest youngest player with expectation of him emerging as one of the best in football in coming years.
Wenger has targeted a number of high profile players, with the likes of Gonzalo Higuain and Marouane Fellaini, Luis Suarez and Rooney making the headline.
However, if this deal go through, it will be a huge addition for Arsenal & will still stick with Arsene Wenger's transfer policy.
