Arsenal winger Wellington Silva is to sign for Bolton on a season-long loan after he posted on his Instagram account.

The 22-year old posted on his Instagram that he was grateful for the opportunity to ply his trade in England after spending the last four seasons out on loan in Spain.

Silva had joined Arsenal in 2011 for £3.5million from Brazilian club Fluminense but after not being granted a work permit had to spend time at Levante, Alcoyano, Ponferradina, Murcia and Almeria.

This successfully allowed Silva to gain Spanish citizenship and was granted his work permit in April meaning he can finally play in England.

Before joining Wanderers Arsene Wenger moved to tie him down to a longer contract after his initial deal was due to expire in 2016.

The Trotters moved quickly to snap him up on a season-long loan and it was revealed that Hertha Berlin failed in an attempt to bring him in as Wenger is keen to help him adapt to the English game.

Wenger will be hoping he follows in the footsteps of fellow Arsenal player Jack Wishere after he kick started his career at the Trotters, rather than Benik Afobe’s move to the Macron which did not go according to plan.

Silva has made two appearances for the Brazil under-21 national side and played 31 times for Almeria last season

He should go straight into the squad ahead of tonight’s trip to Milton Keynes Dons.
