Wellington Silva is an Arsenal player. The protracted transfer of the Fluminense forward finally came to an end last week but still little is known of the Brazil Under 17 international.
His four goals against Norwich City’s Under 16’s in a trial game alerted mass attention to the prospect who scored 51 goals in 19 games for Flu’s youth team. In our video special, we hope to shed some more light on the prospect nicknamed ‘Ciel’. The first video features Silva’s winner against Chivas in the Nike Cup at Old Trafford, while the second is a recent video of his winner in the Under 18 League Cup final. The third shows Wellington’s close control and dribble as he sets up a shot for Brazil in the Under 17 World Cup.

19 in 51 games, surely.

He features quite a bit in this video showing the progression and finale to the Manchester United Premier Cup. Look out for the number 11. Voted most valuable player and top goalscorer! He looks bloody awesome
his touches in those videos are immense.
First goal was against Atlas, not Chivas.
Will he be going out on loan like Vela or will he join the The Arsenal straight away?
lmao 51 goals is this serious?
How tall is he?
Zezinho deal is nearly done.
Looks good, good goal record to:-)
This is not actually true as there is no news on the clubs website, i heard the deal was done but unytil offcial confirmation I aint shouting about nothing. Can you prove this is done deal???
J, do you have any latest transfer news mate?
51 goals in 19 games is what Arsenal (as a team) had in the Premier League… You can’t be serious about that stat.
The next brazillian Ronaldo if he continues with such a scoring rate on intl. and domestic scene.
I hope so.
The figures are correct. Wellington scored four goals in one half for Arsenal’s Under 16’s. So him getting 51 in 19 games gives him a scoring ratio of almost 3 goals a game. This was for their Under 16’s which is at a slightly poorer level to England setup, so it’s not such a wild stat.
51 in 19 is immense but remember these are youth setup and they probably often play against much poorer sides. Fabregas used to get 20 goals a season for Barca youth team while playing DM
Also Lukaku scored 220 Goal in 80 Games for Anderlecht, but he is also a sensational player ;)
Sorry I mean he scored 120 Goals there, but Batuhan Karadeniz, big Talent from Besiktas scored 226 Goals in 86 Games ;)
Bojan got over 500 goals before turning 17 for the barca youth sides sop its not that unbeleivable
the special talents always perform well when playing in the youth setups
these games could be finishing 8-6 so it would be easy for the striker to pick up goals
sorry lukaku got 121 goals in 88 games
Does anyone know what the Zico Cup futebol tournament is?, i just got invited to play in brazil in this tournament!
the other Wellington no.11 is a gr8 talent.would love us to buy him
Jamie Gooner, the official website tends not to discloses youth signings to the general public, as they try to protect them from media/public pressure.
Also, you can imagine how many idiots would see the article and start complaining about us signing youth ‘instead’ of experience.

That’s the newest addition to the mighty Gunners mate, the guy in the pic at the top of this page and the guy this article is based on. :)
vpl and top scorers in the moan u cup prewiusley have been:
Tevez, Torres, Robinho, Fabregas, Bojan, and so on my point is all the VPL and topscorers in this turnament have turned out great!!
fingers crossed 4 wellington!!
nothing would be better then the next ronaldo\romario\ would be an arsenal player
we need this kid now because eduardo is having issues ….
I got a filling that the striker we could be after might be a guy called Lacina Traore. He is about 6 foot 7 from ivory coast. He is 19 and plays for Cluj in Romania and was in this years uefa cup.
Is it true about Merida signing a pre-contract with Atletico? Won’t believe it til I see it here
Like jt said any news on Merida. Hearing he has signed a5 yr deal with Atletico Madrid. He looked unhappy against West Ham when taken off. I know most players are but any news would be good. Is this the spanish press at their best fabeicating stories to unsettle players
Yes it is true. Merida has signed for Atletico Madrid.
Merida wasnt that special anyways but to lose him for nothing sucks. Dont we get some sort of compensation because of his age like Man vity are getting for Sturridge. Anyways, there is a reason why Ramsey was playing more then him. I hope this opens up a spot now so we can get Jack Collison of westham who I think would fit perfectly into our style.
This Wellington seems like a cross between Robinho (dribbling and skill) and Messi (explosiveness and close control). Interesting prospect.
If we’re honest, Merida has hardly impressed in the 1st team. There was minimal chance of him making it Arsenal, he is just way to weak on the ball and lacks compsure in tricky situations. There are also other players in his position who are far ahead of him and not that much older. He’s not the quickest either. I think the expectations placed on him were way to high, not eveyone signed from Barcelona is going to turn out like Cesc. He is a one-in-a-million player. Its disappionting to lose him for nothing, but its not a massive loss. Atleast now more oppotunities will be opened for more exciting youngsers.
I agree with what’s been said. It does suck getting nothing for him, but he’s slipped well down the pecking order by now (to players younger than him no less).
had hopes for him, understand him though…always supported Athletico Madrid and at Arsenal he has not exactly impressed at Arsenal. Still Song needed time but now excellent, still I think Song has strengths that required more time than Merida to develop, with his holding midfield physical and intelligent position, and Merida has not impressed with the strengths which he has
seems like a good lad, so wishing him all the best at Ath. Madrid. We cant complain loosing him like that,since we also have signed players for free
Actually Songs development was simply down to change in formation. He was never going to be a good def mid partner in a 4-4-2 because he isnt a quick, energetic type that can cover alot of ground like Flamini. Song is a powerful,calm players who is able to dominate a certain area on the pitch. When he was on lone at Charlton, he looked good. If we didnt change formations, then his future would be as a center back.
It is funny tho that Merida asumes that he will get more time there even tho they have some talented youngsters like Camacho who arent getting much time. By the way, if this deal is true then we need to just let him go. He isnt helping our first team so no point in staying around.
merida is gone yes
i have always thought he was shitt any ways ramsey and even henderson better dan him
merida is class and 2 loose him is a massive blow. we should have tied him down a long time ago.
one of my inside sources have told me we have made a bid for adam matthews withing the ranges of 3-7 million with add ons, plus we may send them 1-3 players on loan.. dont believe me if u dnt want to.,
We’ll get some money for him as determined by a tribunal, presumably more than £2.4M because that is what we ended up paying Barcelona for him.
Merida is more suited to Spanish league hes not physically strong enough unfortunately hes not going to grind and graft when the going gets tough. When its a rainy, windy day i dont think merida has got the bottle to play which u need in the premiership. Its a real shame hes a very talented player i am sure he will get into the spanish team hes a sublime talent.
But Aaron Ramsey is just a better player than him and so is Henri lansbury so i dont see where he will get a first team place
This kid is very good. Brasil has lots of great young players. Watch the Copa Sao Paulo and you will see lots of good young talent. http://bobbygee.wordpress.com/
its his birthday tomorrow woooo wwooooo
05.01.11 date wellington joins yay!
Wellington and Zezinho look good, I am pleased we hve had the oppertunity to sign them.
I really admire steve rowley and his team’s work in south america cos they seem to grinding out some very good young talent. My only hope would that they turn into future stars for the club. Btw J, talking about transfers and all that jazz, do you know of any progress from Jamie Edge? we’ve lost of any news from him.
Sambuca- We have a scout in brazil, Sandro Orlandelli.
Shane…I do know about sandro but they all report back to steve, in effect, as his the head scout, thus i said ‘and his team’s work’.
