Neymar won't make current Arsenal squad

Sports Brief earlier reported that former Premier League striker Darren Bent believes Neymar won't make the current Arsenal squad due to the presence of talented youngsters.

Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard are holding down Neymar's favourite left-back wing while Martin Odegaard and Fabio Vieira played in the number 10 position.

The Brazilian superstar's injury records is another factor to overlook him. He is currently out of the season after ankle surgery.
