Location: London, England
The plane from Valencia descended through thick, grey clouds and touched down on the slick tarmac of Stansted Airport, its tires hissing against the rain-slicked runway. Tobi Oliveira stared through the small oval window, watching the drizzle streak sideways across the glass. England looked just as he imagined—gloomy, fast, and alive with promise.
A private car waited near the terminal, its glossy black body gleaming under the airport lights. Standing beside it was a man in a fitted navy suit, the red Arsenal crest stitched proudly on the pocket.
"Welcome to London, Mr. Oliveira," said Matthew Wells, Arsenal's Head of Player Liaison, offering a firm handshake and a warm smile.
Tobi returned the handshake with a small nod, his eyes scanning the unfamiliar landscape. Behind him, his mother, Inês, joined with a calm but composed expression. Her phone was already out, recording discreetly. This was more than just a transfer—this was a new life.
