Pedro Botelho下賽季歸隊？ - 阿森納兵工廠足球俱樂部 Arsenal Football Club

On loan Arsenal wing-back Pedro Botelho looks set to rejoin the Gunners in
the summer thanks to a special loop-hole in the Home Office’s and Fifa’s
ruling.

Arsenal signed Pedro in the summer from Brazilian side Figueirense for a fee
of around ￡1 million, but as part of the agreement between the Gunners and
UD Salamanca a deal was reached he would spend this term in Spain following
in the footsteps of Carlos Vela, however he could not make his debut until
December when he turned 18 due to rule’s on Brazilian players playing in
Europe.

That could all change in the summer when or if Arsenal make an application
for a work permit which is required for him to be able to play and
subsequently earn money in England, with two options, they are as follows.

Now he is 18, we can use Fifa’s “Special Talent” visa option, meaning he
is allowed a permit as football’s governing body and the home office agree
Pedro would offer the country something, but they are only given out in
exceptional circumstances for example when we brought Alexandre Song to
England he came over on a special talent visa from Bastia as he had not quite
lived and worked long enough in France to enable French status.

The second option of application is a traditional appeal, the English
government use Fifa’s rankings when determining work permits for football
players, it is worked on via a points system with the players from the top 70
sides getting preference, meaning when Arsenal applied for Carlos Vela’s
visa it was rejected as Mexico were outside the 70, a problem we would not
face with Pedro as Brazil are high in the standings, and the fact that before
he left Figueirense he had already featured for the first team.

With news also that Pedro’s English lessons are progressing well everything
looks set for the wing wizard to pull on the red and white next term,
offering us another option wide on the left or even at left back, to read
more about Pedro and see a video of him in action, see our previous post on
him, Here

In other news, we have updated our Player Profile section, with now each
player having their own page, to enable better discussion on them, so be sure
to check that out.
