  • Wenger remains confident that the player can now come and play for Arsenal as of next season.



    "We have applied for a work permit for him now," said Wenger on the club's official website. "And he will be involved with the first team next season.



    "He has played the whole season at Osasuna on the left wing and he had to work hard there. But for me it is not his position - he is a central striker, an Eduardo type."
