Championship side Bolton Wanderers have signed Wellington on loan from Arsenal.

The Brazilian U21 international’s future has been shrouded in uncertainty all summer after he didn’t feature for either the first-team or the U21s during pre-season.

Wellington, who has been on Arsenal’s books since 2011, was finally granted a work permit enabling him to play in England earlier this year.

The 22-year-old, who has never represented Arsenal in a competitive fixture, has previously spent time on loan at Spanish sides Levante, Alcoyano, Ponferradina, Murcia and Almeria.
