Wellington's boot: The Brazil youngster in action[LNB]Arsenal's new Brazilian starlet Wellington is dreaming of Premier League glory after spending a month with the Gunners ahead of his permanent move to North London in January.

It's a great opportunity for me in my career.'  [LNB] Van Persie injury rocks Arsenal as Dutch striker is ruled out for six weeksStoke defender Shawcross hits back at Wenger's claims of rough tacticsWin tickets to see Arsenal v Bolton - courtesy of EmiratesARSENAL FC
