Arsenal officials sent to club in last few days as Edu eyes £83m Brazilian

Edu keen on Palmeiras midfielder Danilo

Arsenal have sent officials to Brazil in the last few days to hold talks with Palmeiras over a potential deal for midfielder Danilo, according to reports.

The Gunners are long-term admirers of the 21-year-old and believe he has the potential to become a key player for them in the future.

Technical director Edu is a big fan of Danilo and is believed to have been pushing for a move for the player for some time.

Palmeiras want £83m for Danilo

Palmeiras are reluctant to sell Danilo, but they are aware of Arsenal's interest and are willing to listen to offers.

The Brazilian club are said to be demanding a fee of around £83m for Danilo, which would make him Arsenal's most expensive signing of all time.

Arsenal are willing to pay a significant fee for Danilo, but they are unlikely to meet Palmeiras' asking price.

Danilo has been compared to Fernandinho

Danilo is a defensive midfielder who has been compared to Manchester City's Fernandinho.

He is a tough-tackling midfielder who is also good at passing the ball and reading the game.

Danilo has been a key player for Palmeiras in recent seasons and has helped them win the Copa Libertadores and the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.

Would Danilo be a good signing for Arsenal?

Danilo would be a good signing for Arsenal as he is a young, talented player who has the potential to become a key player for them.

He is a versatile player who can play in a number of positions in midfield and he would add some much-needed steel to Arsenal's midfield.

However, Danilo is still relatively inexperienced and he would need time to adapt to the Premier League.

Conclusion

Arsenal are interested in signing Danilo from Palmeiras, but the Brazilian club are demanding a fee of around £83m for the player.

Arsenal are unlikely to meet Palmeiras' asking price, but they are still interested in signing Danilo and are likely to make a bid for him in the summer.
