Arsenal cancel Denilson’s contract

Arsenal have cancelled the contract of Brazilian midfielder Denilson. He has spent the past two seasons on loan at Sao Paulo after falling out of favour at the Emirates in 2010/11.

The player’s agent confirmed yesterday that he is available on a free transfer at the end of the month after his contract was terminated by the club a year early.

His agent claims that his client is attracting plenty of interest from across the world with teams in Brazil, Turkey, Russia, Germany and Italy all reportedly interested in his services this summer.

"“I can confirm Denilson and Arsenal have agreed to terminate his contract at the end of this monthDenilson 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.No decision has been made and we will assess all offers that come our way."

If Denilson does stay in Brazil, Sao Paulo has the priority, but I do not rule out him moving to another Brazilian club as well.” – Denilson’s agent on his client’s release from Arsenal. Quotes: Sky Sports
