Danilo's impressive form had seen him linked with a €20million (£17.1m) switch to the Premier League back in the winter transfer window - however, a move to Arsenal failed to materialise.

And the Gunners could be left to rue that missed opportunity, after a new report from MundoDeportivo claimed that both Los Blancos and Atletico Madrid are now keeping a close eye on the midfield starlet.
