Arsenal’s links with Sporting starlet Joelson Fernandes are surging with time, with Portuguese newspaper yesterday headlining the Gunners’ willingness to splash heck load of money for the 17-year-old.
Arsenal have privileged contacts in bid to bring in Joelson as due to their regards of Kia Joorabchian, whose influence at the Emirates is increasingly growing.
The Gunners see huge potential in Joelson and don’t want to miss out any chances of bringing in a potential world class player after missing out on Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes.
An official bid going in from the Gunners was highly expected and TWI24 claim that Sporting Lisbon may have to accept €15m (£13.6m) for Sporting winger Joelson if the player doesn’t agree to a contract extension.
