Almeria star Wellington gains Spanish passport: I hope Arsenal want me back

Wellington Silva's chances of a career with Arsenal have been boosted in the past week. The winger, currently starring on-loan with Almeria, has earned a first call-up to the Brazil U21 squad for their looming game with China.

And last week, Wellington received his Spanish passport, four years after arriving in Europe.

"Now I can go to Arsenal - if they want me to come back for next season," smiled Wellington.

"But I cannot now be thinking about the future. I must focus on Almería to achieve the goal of staying in the Primera Division."
