hes a midfielder like gilberto with more flair. he has a good engine and is not scred to stick the boot in. although who knows where Wenger will decide to play him.

Wenger completed his deadline day dealings by landing Denilson, a cultured 18-year-old midfielder and captain of Brazil’s under-19 team, from Sao Paolo for a fee that could rise to £3.4m. He could prove another triumph for Arsenal’s youth scouting. In the Under-17 World Cup in Peru last year, Denilson was outstanding, captaining Brazil to the final. Wenger already has his hands on the leading scorer from the side that beat Brazil there, Mexico’s Carlos Vela.

aua

sounds like a good signing. he must be decent for us to fork out that much cash for him, as well as being the captain of the under-19. i havent really heard much other information on him so i hope he'll be a good signing.
