Yormark on Arsenal's interest
Yormark told SportsBoom: "You saw the news; Arsenal was very involved. They were very aggressive."
Yormark told SportsBoom: "Did he ever seriously consider Arsenal? I mean of course."
Yormark told SportsBoom: "When a team like Arsenal rolls out the red carpet for you and makes you feel really wanted, then obviously you have to listen."
Why he stayed in Madrid
Yormark said Vinicius Junior's heart is in Madrid and that he hopes to be there for the rest of his career.
