The Gunners are holding out for a fee believed to be around $2.8m USD.<br />

&ldquo;I believe we&rsquo;ll reach an agreement with Arsenal,&rdquo; Sao Paulo vice-president Joao Paulo de Jesus Lopes told UOL.<br />

&ldquo;We have heard from Denilson that he doesn&rsquo;t want to return to England, that he wants to stay here with us.<br />

&ldquo;I think our relations with Arsenal will help that to happen.&rdquo;
