Palmeiras president provides major Danilo transfer update amid Arsenal failed £21m summer bid

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta wants to add a new central midfielder to his squad in the January transfer window. The Gunners have been linked with a number of talented midfielders across Europe and South America.

football.london understands Arsenal have already agreed personal terms with Leicester star Youri Tielemans with the Belgium international's contract set to expire at the end of the season. The Gunners have put off making an official bid for the 25-year-old but may accelerate their plans should a rival club make a move for the Foxes' midfielder.

Arsenal had three bids rejected for Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz on Deadline Day whilst Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is now said to have 'changed his mind' over a move to the Emirates Stadium. Palmeiras talent Danilo Santos was also on the Gunners' radar with reports suggesting the north Londoners failed with a £21million bid during the summer.
