Arsenal Close To £5m Move For Brazilian Starlet Zezinho - Report
The youngster looks set to leave his homeland for the Premier League...
03-Dec-2009 6:02:09 PM
Arsenal are on the verge of snapping up Brazil Under-17 international Zezinho for £5 million from Juventude.
The Daily Mail reports that the player is certain he has played his last game for his current club after spending some of last summer on trial at the Emirates.
The Gunners are believed to have had bids of £1.5m and £2.75m rejected as Juventude were holding out for £7m.
However, it now seems that the Brazilian outfit will settle for £5m, which will wipe out the club's debts.
Zezinho has also been linked with Liverpool, but it seems that north London is now set to be his destination very soon.
"My time at Juventude ended on Saturday. Until now, I thought that I would continue in the Gaucho, but my agent said that it is impossible," he is reported as saying.
However, the left-sided playmaker, 18 in March, would not be available to play competitively for the Gunners until next season.

"He told me that Arsenal will submit a new offer to Juventude - the third in a year, it seems - and this time it will be solved.
"I don't know about any other interested team. The only proposal is from Arsenal, the others were for trials.
"I don't know about the price. I can only say that Juventude will receive 70 per cent, I'll receive 20 per cent and my agent 10 per cent."However, the left-sided playmaker, 18 in March, would not be available to play competitively for the Gunners until next season.
