On Saturday, Portuguese newspaper Record had a big story saying Arsene Wenger is convinced to move for Sporting midfielder William Carvalho once again.
Their story claimed Arsenal had already made a €23m offer in 2015, and are now ready for another attempt, as the Lions are demanding at least €30m for the Euro 2016 winner.
Of course we covered it, and other English outlets did the same, and that’s how A Bola found of repackaging it into something new.
Instead of crediting Record, their competitor, A Bola claim it’s all coming from the English press, and it’s been given quite a lot of attention.
Carvalho to the Premier League is a popular story in Portugal, and Arsenal being linked gives it a bigger status.
First published by Record, Carvalho to Arsenal has become a rumour now backed by multiple sources, and things are starting to look more factual than they actually are.
