Palmeiras midfielder Danilo, who was a player that Arsenal were interested in signing last summer after an injury to Mohamed Elneny prompted a shift of focus in their end-of-August transfer priorities, is no longer a target. The Brazilian had caught the eye of the club for his appearances in midfield in Brazil.
However, according to The Athletic, the 21-year-old is not on Arsenal’s agenda moving into the January window. Mikel Arteta knows that this season is an opportunity for the club to push toward an unlikely title charge as they sit five points clear at the top of the Premier League and the winter market provides a great opportunity for the Gunners to consolidate their efforts.
Speaking ahead of the final Premier League game before the World Cup began, Arteta was certainly unassured about how active Arsenal would be in the winter window, although the hope of an unscathed team did not come true.
