Arsenal are reportedly tracking down Spartak Moscow striker Welliton.
Russian sources claim that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is keeping tabs on the forward and apparently wants to bring the young Brazilian to the Emirates this summer.
The 24-year-old, who managed to net 21 goals in 29 appearances in all competitions for the Russian outfit last season, is currently in his final year of his contract, and it is thought that the Moscow club are seeking bids starting at around £12 million for the striker.
Bundersliga side Wolfsburg are also said to be interested in Welliton’s services this summer, but according to sources, Arsenal appear to be in pole position for the Brazilian’s signature.
Here is a video of Welliton in action:

why we always gotta go for unknowns why cant we buy sergio aguero or some one like that
what u lot think
it is the 1st time I hear someone suggesting that we go for Sergio Augero. the problem I have with Arenal fans they just want players whom we know are not that good but still insists on getting them. I’m not saying the fans are wrong for wanting players they believe can make it at Arsenal but some just call for players bcoz of the nationality. I still believe Arsene will never make Arsenal the team it was before. Mark my word for it coz the proof is there for everyone to see. Arsenal for French Players
We don’t buy superstars. We make them.
Its true arsenal buys to make them stars bt think ovr it, six yrs witout trophy, fans paying d most expensive tickets n no consistency in performance…is arsenal really in a position to buy sum1 unknown to make them star, it wil a big gamble at this point. So sensible thing is to buy sum1 who cn cum straitght to fire wt gunners r known for…
YES PLS GO FOR HIM IM RUSSIAN AND I KNOW WT THIS GUY IS CAPABLE OF HE WOULD BE PERFECT TO ASSIST RVP IN ATTACK PLUS HES GONNA BRING IN SOMETHING WE R MISSING ……. FLAIR THE BRAZILLIAN FLAIR THE PASSION OF THE GAME
We want fans like you who can give us concrete feedback when needed with regard to players we after. I take my hurt off my fellow mate, hope other fans can do the same. we need the best players on the field of play not the best players on paper. I watch another player from France last nite but I must be honest he is hot my brother but again I don’t want us to do our shopping in one place (France) hahahahaa
lol but i honestly think that this guy can bring back some pace and shooting to arsenal arsenals passing is good but they overdo it now remember in the days of bergkamp we use to run forward with pace and shoot from long distance and some of our shots became some of the greatest goals of all time
he should play for arsenal. i think this guy can make arsenal the next champions!
Looks very good. Go get mr Wenger.
This guy looks like a very realistic summer transfer for Arsenal, i have heard from him before and he always delivers he is young, fast, technical and most important a goal scorer, i would like to see him in an Arsenal shirt next season 🙂
I don’t really know too much about this player but for what I have seen of him on youtube, he does look a decent player. My only concern is will he be able to play like this in the Premiership because we all know that Premiership i far better then the Russian league.
if wishes are horses begars would…wenger is such an idiot general who leads his troops death and stil claim it is d best option.he won’t buy him,rada wen he goes to man u,he claims he spoted him first.mr pigeon wenger.
I dont realy no d guy but he look ok arsene pls sign playe or til last day of tranfer.we need falcao
this guy is giving me Deja Vu of Theirry Henry 😉
Some of his finishing reminds me of Thierry…
