Brazilian international midfielder Luis Gustavo has chosen to stay in Germany, joining Wolfsburg from Bayern Munich for a fee thought to be around €20million.
The player had publicly revealed his love of the Premier League and singled out Arsenal as a club with “great tradition”, at the height of the Gunners interest.
Yet just like many others, Gustavo has chosen to pack up and set up camp elsewhere.
Once again, the Arsenal faithful and Twitter were vocal on the transfer:
@JamesDallESPN “Luiz Gustavo to sign for Wolfsburg for a fee of €15 million, says the German media. Fine timing for Arsenal what with Mikel Arteta's injury.”
