John Obi Mikel warns Arsenal fans over Vinicius Junior transfer links

John Obi Mikel has warned Arsenal fans that Vinicius Junior is using the club to secure a better contract at Real Madrid, insisting the Brazilian will not leave the Spanish giants. He made the comments while backing Arsenal to defend their Premier League title. Mikel, speaking on The Obi One Podcast, said Arsenal are the most settled squad among the top six and have the edge after ending a 22-year title drought last season. He also suggested Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes would be a more realistic and transformative signing for the Gunners. The former Chelsea midfielder added that he is curious to see how Mikel Arteta's side approach the new season, noting they may need to play more attractive football after winning the league with a pragmatic style.
