Transfer: Why Vinicius Jr won’t join Arsenal – Mikel Obi

Former Chelsea midfielder, John Mikel Obi, has said Vinicius Junior will not leave Real Madrid for Arsenal this summer.

Mikel Obi claims Vinicius Jr is using the Gunners to land a bigger contract with Madrid.

He stated this while speaking on the latest episode of his episode.

Mikel Obi acknowledged Arsenal were a big club, but insisted that there is no way Madrid president Florentino Perez would allow Vinicius Jr leave.

“He’s not coming. Forget about that. He’s just using Arsenal to get a better deal. He’s not leaving Real Madrid”, Mikel said.

“I’m sure about that. One hundred per cent. He’s not leaving Real Madrid.

“Why will he leave? Arsenal is a big team and Real Madrid are not willing to budge. Florentino Perez is not willing to budge, so I don’t think Vini’s coming to Arsenal.”
