Brazilian side Fluminense have signed winger Wellington Silva from Arsenal after the Brazilian failed to make a single appearance for the Gunners in his six years at the Emirates.

The 23-year-old failed to obtain a work permit to play in for the Gunners and therefore never played a single game for Arsenal. 

The winger spent last season on loan at Bolton Wanderers where he made 25 appearances and scored two goals. 

The former Brazil Under-17 international has moved to the club he joined as an 11-year-old and has called time on his time in Europe.
