Arsenal and the deal called 'Little Onion'

To strengthen the attacking front, the Gunners' Board of Directors recently decided to put on the negotiating table 36 million pounds to bring to Emirates Stadium the rising Brazilian star: Eventon Soares (25 million pounds upfront and 11 million in additional fees). The London Gunners are getting closer to the signature of the player nicknamed Cebolinha (little onion).

After the success of the Copa America 2019 in Brazil, the tournament where Selecao won the championship, Everton player has emerged as Brazil's latest discovery in this tournament. The player born in 1996 won the Golden Boot with 3 goals (sharing the Golden Boot with Paolo Guerrero of Peru). Everton was just a reserve solution in the Brazilian national team's attack. But the super goal against Bolivia in the opening match helped him win the trust of coach Tite.

The 23-year-old talent has appeared in 4 matches for Brazil, starting 2 matches, leaving many special impressions with delicate passes, and having 1 assist. In the Gremio shirt, Everton Soares is playing very well with 6 goals after 13 appearances in the 2019 Brazilian national championship season.

In Brazilian football, after Neymar, there are very few players who play with special spontaneity and skill, and Everton is one of them. Looking at the way Everton plays, Selecao fans remember Romario, Ronaldinho, Robinho when they were at their peak.

With his modest height, small stature, and small tuft of hair on top of his head, Everton was affectionately nicknamed Cebolinha by fans, a lovely character in a famous Brazilian Comic cartoon.

Arsenal have been unable to quench their thirst for titles for many seasons. That is why coach Unai Emery is very eager to have a versatile attacking player like Everton to supplement the attacking front.

Accordingly, Everton will be a necessary addition for the "Gunners", because the Emirates team needs experienced players next season after saying goodbye to Aaron Ramsey, Danny Welbeck, or Stephan Lichtsteiner...

Earlier in early July, Arsenal successfully recruited striker Gabriel Martinelli from Ituano Club for 6 million pounds. But now this 18-year-old player will only be an option for the future. In addition to Everton, Arsenal is also urgently completing the recruitment of Dani Ceballos. The midfielder just won the European U21 Championship with Spain U21.

In addition to the above names, coach Unai Emery hopes to have the signature of the 2019 Copa America champion, currently a free player after ending his contract with PSG, a former student of Emery at PSG, full-back Dani Alves.

With the above moves, fans who love the "Gunners" of London are hoping for a new season, a season in which the Europa League runner-up will play explosively in all arenas, thereby ending the thirst for titles that has long eluded them.
