Arsenal are set to recall striker Wellington Silva from his loan with Levante.

The Mirror says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has high hopes for the 18-year-old, who was signed for £3.5million from ­Rio de Janeiro club Fluminense last season.

But Wellington has struggled during two loans spells at Levante - and got into trouble last season for eating too much pizza and spending too much time on Twitter.

The Brazil youth international went back to the Spanish club for another season in the summer, but has not impressed coach Juan Ignacio Martinez.

Arsenal will now look to loan him out elsewhere in January.
