Arsenal are expected to lose out on a long-term transfer target with Nottingham Forest set to confirm a deal for the Palmeiras midfielder Danilo.
The Gunners have been linked with a move for the talented 21-year-old and were poised to sign Danilo in the January transfer window. However, Forest have hijacked Arsenal's proposed switch for the Brazilian and he is now ready to join Steve Cooper's men ahead of the second-half of the campaign.
According to the Daily Mail, Forest have beaten a number of European clubs for Danilo's signature after Monaco made a late bid to sign the player. The deal is significant and would land at a price of around £18million plus add-ons, becoming Forest's second most expensive player behind Morgan Gibbs-White.
