Following Arsenal’s failed pursuit of Douglas Luiz in the summer, the Gunners are now set to miss out on long-term target Danilo.
That's because Nottingham Forest are in talks with Palmeiras after lodging an £18million bid to sign the midfielder, according to The Telegraph. It’s added that the offer has not been accepted yet due to Ligue 1 side AS Monaco also pushing for the player's signature.
Danilo was first looked at by sporting director Edu in January of last year before a move was considered again in the summer following injuries to Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny, football.london understands. However, Palmeiras were reluctant to sell at the time, leading the Gunners to turn their attention to Aston Villa’s Luiz on deadline day.
