Arsenal have submitted a £20m bid in an attempt to sign Brazilian midfielder Danilo from Palmeiras. Mikel Arteta is looking to bring in another midfielder before the transfer deadline following injuries to Mohamed Elneny and Thomas Partey.
Partey is currently nursing a thigh injury, while Elneny sustained an issue with his hamstring during Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Fulham on Saturday.
Arsenal will be without the pair as they aim to win their first five matches in a Premier League season for the first time since 2004.
