Bit of a fail mate - Gustavo is listed for the friendly against Switzerland.

That said it is possible that he would be allowed to leave the squad for the medical, but given that he is concerned about his place in the national team, it doesn't really add up.

{Ed022's Note - Well done Billybob for researching into the post and thus spotting the obvious mistakes in his rumour. The good old fashioned "I know when a medical will happen..." Higuain had 27 medicals before going to Napoli for a real one and signing for them...}

Gustavo will be playing for Brazil against Switzerland, well spotted Billybob. But as that game is tomorrow night in Switzerland, surely Thursday morning he could fly to London and start his medical if an agreement had be reached at that point.

Thus hopefully completing it by Thursday Midnight and being registered. Like stated in the first post!!

Could they not do medicals in locations other than the club? More of a question really.
