Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he is not concerned over reports that Brazilian defender Gabriel and Spanish forward Lucas Perez had a frank exchange of views following Arsenal’s 1-0 win over West Brom on Boxing Day.
Gabriel was angry with Lucas for not tracking back as the Baggies mounted an injury time counter attack. The debate continued into the tunnel after the game with both players seen gesticulating at one another as they left the field.
However, Gunners boss Wenger was relaxed about the prospect of confrontation between the two, “No. I don’t know what it is about, I didn’t see it as well. But they have the South American temper, you know, and that can sometimes happen.
“I don’t think that anything bad happened. They are two good friends, very close to each other so that is already forgotten now.”
