Location: London – Emirates Stadium / London Colney
Events: Return from Winter Break, Arsenal vs Crystal Palace, Transfer Rumors, Emilia's Future, January Window Tension
Snow greeted him again in London.
But this time, it felt colder.
Not the weather—the world.
The moment he stepped back into the Arsenal facility, the air buzzed differently. It was the beginning of January. That time of year when contracts cracked, agents circled, and the media lit fires just to watch them burn.
The January Transfer Window was open.
And despite everything—his form, his goals, his assists, his loyalty—Tobi Oliveira's name was back in the headlines.
"Real Madrid Watching Oliveira Situation"
"Bayern Interested in Arsenal's Midfield Gem"
"Arsenal in Standoff Over Tobi's New Contract Demands?"
He walked into the training ground and felt the stares.
Not malicious. But curious.
People wondered if he'd stay.
Or if London was just a stepping stone.
Arteta called him in within the hour.
