Moment of joy for Arsenal supporters as Arsenal officially highjacked Chelsea and Liverpool top summer transfer target, £90m Brazilian joined on a FIVE years deal – Rivals not happy with the move
A moment of pure joy for Arsenal supporters as the Gunners have pulled off one of the most dramatic transfer hijacks of the summer window — securing the signature of a £90 million-rated Brazilian sensation, beating both Chelsea and Liverpool to the blockbuster signing.
The highly sought-after star, who was widely expected to join either of Arsenal’s Premier League rivals, has instead committed his future to Mikel Arteta’s side, signing a five-year deal at the Emirates Stadium. The announcement was made official earlier today in a special press conference at the club’s London Colney training base.
Mikel Arteta: “This Is a Massive Statement”
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta couldn’t hide his excitement as he addressed the media following the announcement:
> “This is a massive statement from the club. We’ve worked tirelessly to make this happen and to bring in a player of his calibre. He had options — big ones — but he chose Arsenal because of what we’re building here, and that means a lot.”
Chelsea and Liverpool Left Stunned
Both Chelsea and Liverpool had been locked in talks with the player’s representatives over the past weeks, believing themselves to be in pole position to land the Brazilian international. However, in a stunning late twist, Arsenal made an aggressive move to hijack the deal, reaching a swift agreement with the player’s agents and his club.
Sources close to the negotiations reveal that the player was highly impressed by Mikel Arteta’s long-term vision for Arsenal and the opportunity to play alongside stars like Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, and Gabriel Martinelli.
A £90M Talent Joins the Emirates
The 24-year-old Brazilian, known for his electric pace, flair, and eye for goal, was one of the most in-demand attackers in world football this summer. His arrival is expected to add a new dimension to Arsenal’s frontline as the Gunners aim to challenge for major honours in both domestic and European competitions.
The Player’s First Words
In his first words as an Arsenal player, the new signing expressed his excitement to join the North London giants:
> “I’m so proud to be part of this club. Arsenal is a team with a great history and a bright future. I had other options, but after speaking with the manager and seeing the ambition here, it was an easy decision. I can’t wait to get started.”
Arsenal Fans Erupt as Rivals React
Unsurprisingly, Arsenal fans have flooded social media with messages of celebration and praise for the club’s transfer team. The phrase “Edu masterclass” quickly began trending as supporters hailed sporting director Edu Gaspar’s Brazilian connection and influence in pulling off the sensational hijack.
Meanwhile, both Chelsea and Liverpool fans have voiced their frustration online, with many labeling it a “transfer robbery” and criticizing their clubs for missing out on such a highly coveted player.
A Summer Statement from Arsenal
This capture marks Arsenal’s sixth signing of a busy transfer window, and arguably their biggest statement yet. By snatching a player of this calibre from under the noses of two Premier League rivals, the Gunners have sent a clear message ahead of the new campaign.
