Arsenal targeting Palmeiras midfielder over a January transfer: Should they get him on board in winter?

Arsenal
approached
the
21-year-old
over
the
summer
as
well
however
his
move
to
north
London
dropped
as
his
club
refused
to
sanction
an
exit
from
Brazil
–
mainly
due
to
his
importance
to
their
team
in
the
Copa
Libertadores.

However,
with
Palmeiras’s
season
set
to
end
before
the
January
window
Arsenal
now
believe
the
Brazilian
side
could
now
be
willing
to
sell
Danilo.
It
seems
Arsenal
are
now
prepared
to
test
Palmeiras’
resolve
for
the
player
with
an
ambitious
bid
in
January.

Danilo’s
impressive
tenure
at
Palmeiras

The
young
defensive
midfielder
has
been
the
vital
clog
to
the
Brazilian
side’s
recent
success.
He
has
helped
the
club
win
two
Copa
Libertadores
titles,
the
Campeonato
Paulista
and
the
Copa
do
Brasil.
He
is
also
set
to
add
the
Brazilian
Serie
A
to
his
honours
list
this
season
as
well
with
his
side
closing
in
on
another
title.
Playing
in
the
middle
of
the
park,
Danilo
has
appeared
in
52
games
for
his
side
scoring
seven
times
and
assisting
further
four.

Transfer
Link-up

Danilo’s
current
contract
ends
in
2026
and
apparently,
he
has
a
release
clause
worth
£86.6m
attached
to
his.
However,
Palmeiras
are
expected
to
cash
in
on
him
for
a
lesser
fee.
Arsenal’s
£20m
summer
bid
got
rejected
immediately
and
as
per
rumours,
the
Gunners
are
now
contemplating
a
bid
close
to
£26m.
Considering
technical
director
Edu’s
connections
in
Brazil
in
terms
of
snapping
up
the
best
talent
from
the
Selecao,
it
could
turn
out
to
be
a
feasible
proposal.

A
good
option
for
the
Gunners?

Arsenal
have
been
sensational
since
the
start
of
the
campaign,
but
they’ll
require
all
the
support
they
can
get
to
stay
there
until
the
end
of
the
season.
The
current
first-team
roster
has
been
punching
above
its
weight
but
if
they
get
even
one
or
two
injuries
to
key
players,
they
surely
won’t
be
able
to
keep
challenging
Manchester
City
for
the
Premier
League
title.
The
North
London
side
have
been
short
of
quality
mainly
in
the
defensive
midfield
area
and
in
that
aspect
a
potential
acquisition
like
Danilo
should
be
a
welcome
signing
for
the
Gunners.
