John Obi Mikel, the former Chelsea midfielder, is adamant that Vinícius Jr. has no intention of joining Arsenal — and that the transfer speculation surrounding the Brazilian is nothing more than a negotiating tactic to extract a richer contract from Real Madrid.
Mikel made his position clear on The Obi One Podcast, stating he is 100 percent certain the forward will remain in Spain. While he praised Arsenal as a club of genuine stature, Mikel argued that playing for Real Madrid represents a different level of ambition, leaving the winger with no sporting incentive to depart.
