Arsenal boss Wenger willing to break bank for Porto midfielder Danilo Pereira

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is willing to break the bank to land Porto midfielder Danilo Pereira.

The Sun says Wenger is said to be considering a £34.5million deal for Euro 2016-winning midfielder Danilo.

The Arsenal chief is pushing for a quick move on the 25-year-old after Gunners' scouts watched him score in Porto's 4-2 win over Rio Ave on Saturday.

Danilo, born in Guinea-Bissau, has represented Portugal at every level from Under-18s and has 16 caps for the senior side.

Funnily enough he spent his youth career at Arsenal 72 before joining Parma in his first professional contract.
