Arsenal striker Wellington Silva has left the club to rejoin Fluminense despite never making his official debut at the Emirates.
The 23-year-old joined the Gunners during the 2010 winter transfer window but was eventually loaned out after his application for a "Special Talent Visa" was denied by the Football Association.
He enjoyed loan spells at Levante, Alcoyano, Ponferradina, Murcia, Almeria and Bolton Wanderers before deciding the leave London on a permanent basis.
"I am very happy," he said after the move.
"I want to thank Fluminense for this opportunity after so long to go back, I'm eager to start. I am very anxious, really it is like the first time.
"[My] Desire to return has always existed. When I learned that it was possible I was nervous for 10 days.
"I am very happy and I have no words to thank. Now I have to train and get on to the field as quickly as possible."
