For the last few weeks Arsenal have been constantly linked with a move for the Shakhtar winger Willian, but according to the agent of his Brazilian team-mate Douglas Costa it is his client who has been the subject of a bid.
Costa is a Brazilian U20 international and was hugely impressive for Shakhtar in their run to the Quarter-Finals of this years Champions League, and was previously linked with a move to Man Utd in January, but Costa’s agent, Cesar Bottega, reckons that it was Arsenal that have made the first offer.
Bottega said: “The Gunners have offered the club Denilson in exchange for Douglas but Shakhtar said no. They are not interested in Denilson and would want only money.”
Arsenal fans were hoping to kill two birds with one stone by making a swap deal with the Ukranian Champions by off-loading the wantaway Denilson in exchange for Willian, but now they are going to have to look further afield for a buyer. Costa certainly would be a fantastic replacement for his fellow Brazilian….
