New Bologna signing Valentin Antov admits that new Brexit rules scuppered his chances of a move to the Premier League amid interest from Arsenal, as reported by Corriere dello Sport.
If the Gunners had made their move for a 20-year-old Bulgaria international last summer, Antov would probably already be part of Mikel Arteta’s squad.
But, as the clocks chimed 12 on New Year’s Day, any hopes the youngster had of a life-changing move to one of England’s biggest clubs went up in smoke.
