Early August.
Lisbon Athletic had completed another high-profile transfer.
The deal had baffled many.
Because after the deal was concluded, The Sun Newspaper exposed the player's behavior at Arsenal.
"Wenger's invitation rejected! Swedish prodigy's one-day jaunt in London!"
"Arsenal's sporting director: It's outrageous, I've never seen such an audacious kid! He doesn't have a clue about the world, who does he think he is? God?"
Soon, Wenger, who hadn't had a summer break, gave an interview about the player, expressing helplessly, "I had never met this player before, someone told me he was excellent, so I invited him to Arsenal with a responsible attitude."
"But I'm sorry to say that I didn't see anything special in him, apart from his height over one meter ninety."
"He looked talented, but that's just on the surface. Because when I asked him to train with our first team for a while, he outright rejected me."
