Arsenal will make a fresh move for Palmeiras midfielder Danilo when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.
The Gunners made a late approach to sign the Brazilian this week, but Palmeiras were clear that he was not for sale.
The club were reluctant to lose their prized asset at such a short notice, considering they are vying for the Serie A title.
However, a move could be on the cards in January when their season ends, and the Gunners have been tipped to make a fresh bid.
The north London giants are currently short in midfield following muscular injuries to Mohamed Elneny and Thomas Partey.
Partey has been backed to return in a couple of weeks, but the club need more depth in the squad to finish in the top four.
The Gunners were prepared to pay around £21m for the young midfielder, and could make a similar proposal in January.
Arsenal were also interested in signing Douglas Luiz on transfer deadline day, but Aston Villa had no plans of losing him.
