The Brazilian has been openly vocal about wanting to leave the Gunners, and has been linked with a switch to Sevilla and Wolfsburg. He described last season as the worst of his life, and now wants to move on with his career at a new club. He claims he has spoken with his manager Arsene Wenger, who has agreed to let him go.
“I’ve spoken twice with Arsene Wenger and my decision is clear,” he told The Daily Mirror. “I’m not happy at Arsenal and, after five years at the club, it’s best for me to go. I don’t blame Arsene Wenger at all. I believe I’ve had my best season personally but I want to win titles. After the Carling Cup final it all went wrong for Arsenal.”
Denilson is now looking to the future, and is prepared to wait if he cannot join a Champions League side just yet. “I’m still young,” he continued. “If I don’t find another club in Europe, I will go back to Brazil and play there for six months,” added the 23-year-old, who started his career in his homeland with Sao Paulo.
“My idea is to accept any offer from Spain, Italy or Germany from a club that is playing in the Champions League. I dream of maintaining a place in the Brazil national team,” he concluded, having made six appearances for Brazil’s under-17 side but none for the senior team.
