Welcome to Arsenal. Prospect, lets hope he turns out better than Wellington or Botehlo. Given the fact that he trained with the Brazilian senior squad leading up to Copa America, that's a decent sign that he's progressed since his trials with MU and Barca.

Welcome to Arsenal. I wonder what to expect, will we loan him? Or will he get some time in cup games?
Gonna have to get the old youtube out for this one.

his entire chest/back might be tatted up, but he doesnt have any visible tattoos because he wants to keep it business-like. very smart.

One of the few rumors to totally originate from Brazil and be true. Welcome to Arsenal. Hope you will be the first south american prospect to succeed here. I'm sick of Samuel Galindos

I like the look of this cat.

Galindo. Good Lord I forgot all about him.

or he might be an evangelical like kaka, god knows brazil has been infected with that nonsense.

Pretty sure he is. Seen a few videos of him, and pointing to the sky in prayer was his go-to celebration.

lorddulaarsenal

Well we need divine intervention!

goon

Anything that links him to Kaka is a win.

Bit of insight:

That's literally every single Brazilian or Latin American for what it's worth though. Doesn't mean hes necessarily an evangelical Christian

Really hope no one puts a microphone in front of him and asks him about Bolsonaro btw

Has all the hallmarks of a kid that would be incredible then leave us for the Spanish giants.

lorddulaarsenal

Wouldn’t be the end of the world if that happened - means he’s doing well and we’d get wonga

DKGooner

Waiting to see if he'll be retained for the first team this season or sent out on loan.
