Club Brugge coach Ivan Leko has insisted that Arsenal linked Wesley is the best player he has ever coached and has no worries about the Brazilian's ability to handle the Premier League.
The Gunners have been linked with a January swoop for the 22-year old, and are battling Valencia and Fiorentina for the talented centre-forward.
Wesley has scored seven times in the Belgian top flight this season, along with finding the back of the net twice in the Champions League group stage, against Monaco.
Arsenal have two in-form strikers in Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but Danny Welbeck’s long-term injury has prompted the club to look for a new attacker in January.
Now Arsenal have been given a glowing reference on Wesley as Club Brugge boss Leko, responding to the speculation, says that the Brazilian can more than handle the English top flight.
"Look, the Premier League is the dream of every footballer”, Leko said at a press conference when asked about Wesley being linked with a move away.
"First and foremost, I would be super proud if it [a move to the Premier League] happened tomorrow or in six months.
"He can certainly handle the level. I know him very well after 18 months of training.
"He has everything to play for a top club, but besides talent you also have to work hard every day in training.
"But purely on talent, in my short coaching career, he is the best I have coached."
Wesley moved to Club Brugge in the January transfer window of 2016 from Slovakian side AS Trencin and has scored 31 goals in 104 appearances for the Belgian outfit.
