Felipe Melo definitely won’t be coming to Arsenal this summer, but his fellow Brazilian Naldo certainly could be.
Werder Bremen’s central defender has been tipped to join the Gunners’ by coach Thomas Schaaf who quoted a potential transfer fee at just under £8million.
“Naldo is a great athlete and could do well at the right club, unfortunately he doesn’t fit the direction we’re planning to move in any longer.
“We expect to move him for somewhere in the region of €10 million [£8m], and English side Arsenal is as of now the most likely destination.”
The imposing 6ft 5inch figure of Naldo would provide much added strength and solidity to the Arsenal defence especially after the recent acquisition of Ajax skipper Thomas Vermaelen.
At 26-years-old, Naldo has experience, athleticism and toughness in his game. You can check out a mini-player bio, along with a video below.
