Arsenal reportedly submit £13.6 million offer for Joelson and Sporting may be forced to accept bid
Arsenal have submitted a £13.6 million offer for Joelson Fernandes and Sporting Lisbon may be forced to accept the bid as the player is refusing to sign a new deal at the club, according to Portuguese news channel TVI 24 via ZRAFC.
The Gunners are very interested in the 17 year old Sporting academy graduate who has been likened to Cristiano Ronaldo. The player has a £41 million buyout clause but it is believed that the Portuguese club might be forced to accept a lower bid for the player.
Sporting have offered him a new contract which would increase his release clause but the player and his representatives have rejected the deal and it looks increasingly unlikely that the club and player will find an agreement.
Joelson Fernandes made his debut for Sporting Lisbon earlier this month. He has made a total of four appearances for the Portuguese club. His agent is Kia Joorabchian, a man with close ties to members of the Arsenal hierarchy. This will definitely help the Gunners in their pursuit to bring the promising young attacker to the Emirates this summer.
The North London side are reported to have a five year deal ready to offer to the player with a guarantee of first team football.
Come on. We already got Saka, Nelson and more of the same. Not to mention the wildly overrated Pepe. More of the same.
We need more brains in midfield now. Grealish or Maddison.
Arsenal should be forward looking another teen in the name of Joelson is a fantastic addition to our arrays of young talents. we don’t need the Madisons and Grealish of this world Arteta needs to build a team to rule the premiership for the next ten years. Just combine Saka, Nelson, Maitland Niles, Rowe Smith, Martinel, Rob holdings, Saliba, Nketia, Mavrapanos, Joe willock and add Joelson and just give them two seasons Arsenal will be untouchable for the next ten years. but Madison and Grealish will serve us for two to three seasons they are finished. Arteta was hired for a long term project.
Just what we need, another teen with potential . Get serious Gunners, proven players are what’s in order now!
Just bring him fast
