Reports over the weekend suggested Arsenal have agreed to sign Bernard from Atletico Mineiro, with the young Brazilian believed to be flying over to London on Friday to have his medical.
However, the 20-year-old Brazilian midfielder has refused to confirm what has been reported is true, admitting he does not know where his future lies:
‘I don’t want to talk about this in a week as important as this one.
‘I want to talk about the game and I don’t want to be impolite or ignore it in any way.
‘I don’t know what will happen after the game. My future at Atletico Mineiro will be in the board’s hands from Thursday onwards.’
Not many of the Arsenal faithful will know who Bernard actually is, myself included. All I know is that he is a 5’4’’, highly-rated youngster in his country, is a left-sided winger, and that he has made 97 appearances for Atletico Mineiro, finding the net 21 times, since 2011.
Although he has great potential, do we really want to fork out a huge sum of cash for an unproven starlet only to have him sent out on loan? Even if he was brought in, would he get ahead of what we currently have at our disposal?
I honestly think other areas of the team need to be addressed. We have many wingers at the club already.
Would you like to see Bernard arrive at The Emirates this summer?

let me ask, how old was juan mata when he played for spain in the 2011 u-20 world? Did we not all weep when he joined chelsea in preference to our arsenal? Did bernad not play for brazil in the last fifa confederation cup which brazil won, thrashing spain? Is bernard not 20 yrs now and has he not been described as a highly talented youngster? What would be song of bloggers like you if spurs or any other arsenal rival would beat arsenal to bernards signature? The problem is that every blogger believes that he knows better how to run the arsenal than the board and its manager.
I want him 2 join arsenal
