The hype around Arsenal’s promising young forward Wellington Silva continued over the weekend as he turned in an oustanding performance to turn the game for parent club Fluminense. Needing a win over São Bernardo to continue in the tournament, Flu went 2-0 down before the Silva show earned them a win.
The 17-year-old first showed his goal scoring instincts by curling home following a knock down, before showing his superb close control to beat three players and then pull off a Ronaldinho style ‘no look pass’ for the equalizer. Wellington then tricked his way into the box and was pulled down for a penalty – which was scored. A 3-2 win was unlikely but fantastic. You can see the highlights below and more videos of Silva Here.

Nice!
He looks a great prospect and I am really looking forward to us having him next January.
DO you know if he is going to train with the squad in the Brazilian league might be on around then right ?
This Wellington plays for Fluminense’s youth team, not their first team, per my friend in Rio. They have a senior player who is also named Wellington.
anyone know about samuel galindo? http://www.toffeeweb.com/season/09-10/rumour-mill/index.asp?#100113a
or Siyanda Xulu?

Check the Mirror – Galindo has signed.
So is this the right Wellington then (in the video)?
anyone has the video of arsenal – west ham reserve game last night? i want to see the goals :(
my favorite reserve player (JET) scored a hat trick. cant wait to see him playing for the 1st team.
This IS the right Wellington. This kid is phenomenal. He has the potential to be as big as Messi. His skills are actually a notch better than Messi. I really cannot wait to see him play for Arsenal next year.
Hahahahahah bigger then Messi,hold your horses son.
shut up danish gooner,go back and support the spud..go check on Le Groove, you will feel welcome you and your usual comment
this kid could be brilliant,he is got all attribute but the important word in this is could.let s not over hyped him too much.we have enough idiot slamming and cursing around our young players after one bad match
have a look at this
Sudamericano Sub 17: Team of the tournament
http://www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/south-america/u-17-championship2.html
now its only this persons opinion but if we have signed all these players we have supposedly signed and its the same wellington that would mean we have signed 4 players from the best 11
Waaoow that kid looks amazing, our scouting network seems to have unearthed a real gem with this kid, well done Arsenal, roll on next year!
how tall is he?
u heard anything about zezinho?
d boy is sensational md d nxt ronaldo de lima
Yep, it’s Wellington Silva. Can’t be two of those, and he’s ours baby.
What a cheeky penalty at the end – sangue frio.
But come on, when will he actually move to London? When that happens how will he cope. He’s from Rio. The adjustment will be difficult. What sort of young man will he be when he arrives in N5? There is a lot of water under the bridge still to come. Messi? You are having a laugh! He’s bridged the chasm. He’s a done deal and will only get better. Doing a trick on the halfway line in some second rate cup competition against who? Sao Bernardo? They aren’t in Serie A or Serie B.
Still, Wellington is exciting. Here’s a link to an interview in Portuguese: http://video.globo.com/Videos/Player/Esportes/0,,GIM1188348-7824-WELLINGTON+SILVA+SONHO+EM+JOGAR+NO+PROFISSIONAL+DO+FLUMINENSE+COM+O+MARACANA+LOTADO,00.html

Found another Pedro Botelho video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyyzISeC2lY
Quite similar to di maria, when running in full flight very hard to stop him
he is gonna be amazing the next ronaldo
and j is it true that arsenal have signed samuel galindo because every 1 is saying he signed
and i hope he is good
genius, especially how he creates the second goal, amazing took out wo player with ease, no look pass.
He also got the penalty, but the one who shot the penalty was great too, very cheeky..
who’s this kid Gallindo from Bolivia that we are signing?
New luiz Ronaldo :>
4 ever Arsenal
the second goal for flumenase.. was a reload.. i went back to c what he done. i think he better then robinho.. more direct! but lets see how arsenal changes him.. so he adds more of a end produt in the top class.. ive been waiting for arsenal to buy more flair quick players.. our standerd speed players that uses dere mind like nasri, whilsere, rosicky, eduardo.and so on.. we only have a few dt can kil a team.. fabregas, ashavin, van persie and walcott.. and walcott aint really got dt kiler instinct yet like messi. and ronaldo got his when he was like 21 22. its look like a bright future for arsenal.. just hope we get a flair squick striker to scare teams like henry did.. damn i miss that guy!
Thanks for finding this video for us Jay, i knw somtimes we arent as thankful as we could be but we do appreciate the work u put in
the skill and pass to set up the second goal was great
any news on that 15 year old brazilian we were meant to have signed last year, name sounds like coutinho but not inters player
and any news on this Samuel Galindo or zehinho and all those other talents
The penalty was actually terrible and illegal. Not sure how the referee allowed it to stand. The kicker stopped his kick and continued again after the keeper committed himself.
HOW TALL IS HE?
PLEASE REALLY NEED TO KNOW
does anyone pls knw anytin bout zezinho???bcos i heard a bid was accepted a while ago….
Here’s a vid on Samuel Galindo – Even the guy in the transfer centre at sky said the deal should be done by the end of the window
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHLiJEbX_gw
Do not be surprised if this guy is our new defensive mid buy. He’s like a classy micheal carrick with skill. Could be an interesting buy if true
Any news on this J?
ahhhhh, youtue is under filtering here in iran.
PLEASE NOT ANOTHER YOUNG CENTEAL MIDFIELDER. HOW MANY MORE BLOODY CENTRAL MIDFIELDERS ARE ARSENAL GOING TO BUY.
WE NEED SOME WINGERS AND SOME QUALITY FULL BACKS NOT MORE CENTRAL MIDFIELDERS.
BUT I HAVE TO SAY HES 17 AND HES CAPTAINS THE BOLIVA UNDER 21 TEAM SO HE MUST BE PRETTY GOOD
everytime “we need more wingers” why? most teams dont play with your old fashioned type of wingers anymore and we have andrey, rvp, theo, vela, wilshere, rosicky an nasri who can play that kind of position we dont need more wingers.
We signed a 17 year old Bolivian kid today. He is there u20s caption. Saamuel Galindo
I watched the kid vs Brazil in the south american qualifiers. He does play in the center, but he is very good. He is left footed and has great vision.
Actually the big guys are using the younger players in Copa sao Paulo. Wellington is a keeper. he is very good. http://bobbygee.wordpress.com/
yah, it look like the sao paulo state championships to me
It looks like we actually got the biggest talent in brazil this time. We always seemed to get good ones but miss the Patos and Ronaldos.
For the last time people for anyone that is confused… Our wellington has short hair, is right footed and seems to always wher number 20 and plays at winger or up top and is born in 93 And his name is Welington “Silva”…..the other Wellington has a kinda Afro, is left footed, is a mostly a center mid, born in 92 and is called by just Wellington.
oh for gods sake, before everyone suffers a coronary with all the excitement I have two words for you – Freddy Adu.
Could everyone please get some kind of perspective?
He is trying to replace Fabregas, who might want a move away ;(
TBH, Stephane Sessegnon would be a better option.
Stephane Sessegnon is good but would cost more than 10 million pounds. Plus he is more of a flair guy verse a consistent player like Fabregas. Plus Wellington Silva has nothing to do with Fabregas.
Phil D- Fredy Adu was over hyped because of age fraud. He simply put was older then 14 when he started playing which is the reason why he hasnt grown since then.
Good points, I think I will definitely subscribe! I’ll go and read some more! What do you see the future of this being?
Shane, I was talking about Sammy Galindo. I meant I would prefer Sessegnon to a 17 year old. Sessegnon can play as a play maker aswell.
I know what you ment. I said Sessagnon would cost atleast 10 million pounds tho compared to 500,000.
Wellington looks like a great prospect, so does the Fluminese number 20.
LOL the number 20 is wellington
do you guys think wenger will get one of those special talent permits for wellington or will he be loaned out
Shane – sorry mate I didnt realise that about Adu. Even so I do think people get carried away a little bit when we sign all these young players. For example, take Carlos Vela. There is no doubt the lad has a lot of talent but he was being held up as the new messiah and as soon as he came to England he was going to start every match and be the solution to every little last problem. Not really the case is it? When Galindo and Silva eventually arrive the hype machine will be in serious overdrive again. Nothing wrong with getting excited about signings, but no need to go overboard either. How many south americans are really that dominant in the premiership anyway?
