DAN'S THE MAN

Arsene Wenger is lining up a move for Real Madrid right-back Danilo if Barcelona manage to lure away Arsenal star Hector Bellerin

The 25-year-old is playing second fiddle to Dani Carvajal at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium after failing to justify his £27million move he made to Los Blancos in 2015

ARSENAL will move swiftly for Real Madrid defender Danilo should Hector Bellerin leave for former club Barcelona.

The 25-year-old has failed to cement a starting spot under Zinedine Zidane, with the Frenchman preferring Dani Carvajal instead.

According to Spanish news outlet Don Balon, Madrid are willing to accept an offer of around £17million, as president Florentino Perez is willing to cut his losses on the flop.

Danilo, capped 15 times by Brazil, has made just 16 appearances in La Liga this season in 37 games - 23 overall in the campaign.

In two seasons he has featured 54 times, finding the back of the net on three occasions, and was part of the side that won the Champions League last year - coming on in the final in the 52nd minute.

He won two league titles with former side Porto, and also lifted the Copa Libertadores with Santos in 2011.
