Silva supports Melo move

June 29, 2009

Fiorentinas Felipe Melo is being heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in the summer as they still search for a replacement to Patrick Viera in the centre of midfield and former Arsenal captain Gilberto Silva has advised fellow Brazilian Melo to jump at the chance of a move to Arsenal if he is offered it.

“We heard rumours and he asked me. I said it’s a fantastic club and if he’s interested he should go without thinking,” said Gilberto.

“He is exactly what they need - a powerful player with quality.”

“If they got him it would be great because he is a player they need at the moment.”

“I’m sure if they got him it would be a good signing. I have told him Arsenal is a great club and I am sure next season they will improve.”
