Zenit St Petersburg attacker Luiz Henrique has revealed that he dreams of a moving to Premier League club Arsenal.
Speaking to Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte, Luiz Henrique has revealed that he is a big fan of Arsenal and that it would be a dream come true for him to play for them.
It will be interesting to see if his comments encourage Arsenal to make a move for him in future. There is no doubt that the 24-year-old is a talented player with a bright future. He has the technical attributes to do well in England, and Arsenal could groom him into a future star.
The 24-year-old said, “I can’t talk about that now, because I’m at Zenit and I want to do a good job here. It’s a club with great structure, and I want to make history and win titles. For now, I’m going to keep the Botafogo fans curious. I can’t say if I’m coming back now.
“I’m going to let life take me. I want to fulfil my contract here at Zenit, but I have dreams of playing for a team in England and playing in the Champions League. Since I was a kid, my dream has always been to play in England. There’s a team there that I like a lot, which is Arsenal. But, as I said, I want to fulfil my contract first.”
Arsenal have done well to improve their team massively over the last few windows. The North London outfit are the best team in the league right now, and they are rightly on the top of the table. They have been exceptional in the UEFA Champions League as well. It is no surprise that young talents want to join them. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal decide to make a move for the player in the near future.
Henrique would be a long-term investment for them and if they can sign him for a reasonable price, the deal could prove to be a sure investment. The fact that the 24-year-old dreams of playing for them will only be an added incentive.
For now, Arsenal will concentrate on winning the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League this season. The Gunners have been exceptional, and they will feel that both trophies are there for the taking. Several top clubs are underperforming this season and this is a golden opportunity for Arsenal to do something special.
Henrique could make a big move
Meanwhile, Luiz Henrique will certainly hope to play for an elite club soon. It remains to be seen where he ends up. The Brazilian should look to join a club where there is a clear pathway to the first team and a clear plan for his development.
Joining a big club just for the sake of it could be detrimental to his development. He will need regular opportunities to improve further and fulfil his potential. The 24-year-old should only join Arsenal if they are willing to give him the opportunities he needs right now.
