London Arsenal defender Andre Santos has left for Brazil, where he will wear the "Gremio" jersey until the end of the season.
In 2011, the player arrived in England from Turkey's Istanbul "Fenerbahce" for 7 million euros and started in the starting lineup of the Premier League in 13 matches, but recently did not receive the trust of coach Arsene Wenger.
Nevertheless, the options for a left-back position have significantly narrowed after Santos' departure, as Kieran Gibbs is injured and newcomer Nacho Monreal cannot play in the Champions League.
However, Thomas Vermaelen is returning to the squad, and there is also 20-year-old Spaniard Ignasi Miquel, who has so far rarely featured in the main lineup.
