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.”
