Twitter reacts: Andre Gomes to Arsenal?

Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move for Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes this summer, as Unai Emery continues with efforts to revamp the squad left to him by Arsene Wenger.

The Portuguese international was one of the country’s brightest stars two years ago when he was part of the team who lifted the European Cup, prompting Barcelona to splash the cash in order to sign him. But he has failed to rediscover his best form since, and was left out of Portugal’s World Cup squad this summer.


Having spent two seasons at the Camp Nou, Gomes has made 78 appearances across all competitions, scoring three goals and notching on four assists. However, he has never nailed down a starting role at the club, and often was deployed on the flank rather than his preferred central midfield position.

Now, after it was confirmed the 24-year-old will not be part of Barcelona’s pre-season squad for their trip to the United States, it seems his exit is imminent.

There have been several suitors for the midfielder, with Juventus, Arsenal and Spurs among the favourites to land him.

However, it seems as if Arsenal fans aren’t too pleased about being linked with the midfielder – especially if it means Aaron Ramsey going the other way!
