According to AS, Brazilian teenager Wellington Silva has been released from his loan spell with Levante and will now spend the remaining half of the season with Spanish second division side CD Alcoyano.

It was reported as far back as October that Levante were unhappy with the player’s attitude and that he would return to London in January.

Eager to ensure the young striker continues to play, it appears the Arsenal hierarchy have acted quickly to push through a further temporary move.

Wellington signed for Arsenal from homeland side Fluminense last January but has been dogged by reports about his poor behaviour with his love for pizza and Twitter coming under particular fire.
