Arsenal transfer target Danilo could be ready for a move to the Premier League.

The Brazilian central midfielder is a huge target for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

His South American club Palmeiras were not willing to let the player leave in the summer, as that is the middle of their season.

Danilo recently told Brazilian outlet UOL Sport: "I see myself mature enough to be able to play in any competition in the world, I'm ready.

"Palmeiras helped me a lot, from the off, with [director] Joao Paulo [Sampaio]. And I kept my mentality strong with the arrival of Abel [Ferreira].

“I prefer not to get involved with these transfer issues. I told my agent to only talk to me if it's the right thing. Then we sit down and talk to Palmeiras and decide what's best for everyone."
