Forget Tielemans – Edu working on Arsenal deal to sign £150k-a-week midfielder

Arsenal are ‘going for’ Palmeiras midfielder Danilo as manager Mikel Arteta looks to get some late deals over the line

Mikel Arteta and Edu have pretty much managed to get the transfer signings that they wanted this summer and are very happy with the squad that they currently have

However – adding a few more players to the side will improve their chances of getting back into the Champions League and adding another trophy to the cabinet – something that Arteta needs to keep his job this season

That has led to reports in the media over the past few days that Arsenal are ready to offer Danilo close to £150,000-a-week to make the move to the Emirates by the end of the transfer window

What Is the latest?…

Journalist Alex Crook has informed GiveMeSport that the capital club are focussing their attention on Danilo and is the midfielder that they most want to sign today

He said: “Danilo, I think, is the midfielder they’re going for. Which is interesting given that we now know that Youri Tielemans would be available for around £25 million.

“I think Arsenal maybe felt like he didn’t quite have the engine.”

IcFootballnews view…

Tielemans is a player that is proven in the Premier League – has been brilliant in the Premier League and would be a great asset

There are alot of questions about whether or not Danilo will be able to cope with the English game – especially coming from Palmeiras – it is a massive step up

Burt ArsenalFC must have watched him alot over the past few months – so there is obviously something about him that Edu really likes

It will be hard to get this deal done by deadline – but lets see if Arsenal pull it off
