Arsenal release Denilson on free transfer

Arsenal have decided to release Denilson from his contract. The defensive midfielder had a mixed time during his stay with the Gunners, and after an unsuccessful loan spell in his homeland will be free to look for a new club.

The 25-year-old joined Arsenal back in 2006 but failed to flourish under Arsene Wenger. A spell on loan to his former club Sao Paulo failed to prove he was ready for a return back to his home country.


"I can confirm Denilson and Arsenal have agreed to terminate his contract at the end of this month," said the player's agent, Alexandre Soares.


"Denilson is free to move to another club and a number of clubs are interested in him.


"I do not want to name teams, but there is interest from Brazil as well as Russia, Italy, Germany and Turkey and I am talking to them."
