Arsenal are ready to send Wellington Silva out on loan to an English club after agreeing a new contract with the Brazilian, sources have told ESPN FC.

Arsenal have been in talks to tie the 22-year-old forward down to a new contract with his previous deal due to expire in 2016 and sources told ESPN FC that, now they have agreed a new long-term deal, the club feel he would be best served to go out loan next season so that he can adapt to English football.

Wellington has spent the last five seasons on loan in Spain -- at Levante, Alcoyano, Ponferradina, Murcia and Almeria -- after not being not granted a work permit following his arrival at the club from Fluminese in 2011.
