Arsenal has built up a strong Brazilian connection in recent years, both among the players and management through the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Magalhães and Edu and it is now being reported that another Brazilian could soon be joining.
Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola via his YouTube channel is claiming that Arsenal are set to open up talks with 20-year-old Danilo, who currently plies his trade with Palmeiras.
The youngster has been compared to Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kane, as reported by HITC and is reportedly available at an affordable £13m.
Just Arsenal says
To be honest, I know nothing about the player so it is very difficult to give any first-hand knowledge but there are reports that talk about him in glowing terms as well as the usual Youtube videos.
No idea if he will be a success at Arsenal but it does confirm that the club is continuing down the road of signing talented youngsters.
One can only hope that he ends up being as good as Martinelli because while it is a good thing that we are bringing in younger players, we also need experience and desperately so and investing too much money in young players has not seen us progress as we may have hoped.
Strong technical and mobile , more advanced than Guendouzi at this age
Interesting! Are you from Brazil?
Lol
We all know what brazillians are capable of, man.
No Reggie, but do watch the kid many a time.
I had seen him played at right back, right side of midfield and just in front of the back four, he steadily look increasingly imposing when progressing the ball every time I watch him, very good passer of the ball at this age.
He likes to carry the ball and I could see him teaming up well with Ben, would still recommend an experienced midfielder to be brought in with him
