After suffering multiple serious injuries, Brazilian star Neymar missed the Copa América this year, but according to football.london, he is set to return in pre-season. Former Arsenal player and Brazilian legend Gilberto Silva believes that Neymar still has the potential to return to the top five leagues.
Silva said: “There’s a good chance that Neymar could end up at Arsenal. I’d love to see Neymar playing in the Premier League for Arsenal, it would be very exciting. It would bring a lot of joy to the fans and make the games very special. When you watch the Premier League, you always want to see the best players in the world, and Neymar is one of those players. Let’s wait and see what the future holds, there is a good chance Neymar could join Arsenal, why not?”
“When Neymar decided to go to Saudi Arabia, many Brazilians thought the Saudi league was a low level. Neymar’s decision hopefully won’t affect his future path, but right now it looks tough because he’s injured and can’t do anything. But even if you play in Europe, you can still get injured and need a long recovery period. I believe in Neymar, I believe he can overcome his negative emotions. In my opinion, he is still the best player in Brazil, he has skills that most players don’t. He just needs to recover and then focus on what he wants to do.”
Silva joined Arsenal in 2002, representing the team in 244 games across all competitions, scoring 24 goals. He helped the team win one league title, two FA Cups and two Community Shield titles. He left for Greek club Panathinaikos in 2011.
It is worth noting that Neymar himself has mentioned his desire to join a Premier League team. In a previous interview, he said: “The Premier League amazes me, I love the style there. One day I will try the Premier League, yes. I love Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, because they are always fighting.”
