Arsenal Transfer 2011: Denilson Tells Gunners He Wants to Leave

Reports in The Sun state that Arsenal midfielder Denilson has told Arsenal he wants to leave the club; the Sun has reported the story in a manner that suggest this will shock the Gunners.

The 23 years-old, who joined Arsenal in 2006, has made over 150 appearances for the club. But the Samba star wants to win trophies.

"This has been the worst season of my life and I am so upset, so frustrated, I am a winner and I came here to win trophies but I've been here for five years and won nothing," he told The Sun.

The Brazilian went on to say, "I made up my mind eight months ago. I was fed up of coming home and feeling down."

Denilson claims he has told Arsene Wenger and "he's agreed to let me go."

The Samba star is relieved that his wish has been granted, but adds that no one knows what is missing at Arsenal.

"There's something missing at Arsenal but no one knows what it is. Not the manager, not the players - nobody.

"Arsenal is a great club, we have a great manager and so many talented players. So we should be collecting silverware. And there are no excuses for it."

Denilson wants a move to Spain or Italy.

But is this really a shocking and a blow to Arsenal FC?

Well, simply not at all. Denilson is below par. He is a defensive minded player who has failed to do the simple tasks this season: passing the ball successfully. 

He says nobody knows what is missing, but the whole world knows that Arsenal need a goalkeeper, a defender, a midfielder and a striker. Everybody this season has seen why Arsenal fell short of silverware.

United have had an amazing season thanks to three key positions—can you guess what these are?

Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger has told his captain, Cesc Fabregas, that leaving the club will risk his career. The "proffessor" claims that the Spaniard would be going nowhere by changing clubs simply because of frustration.

The Gunners are ready for another summer of highs and lows, which is sure to involve Cesc Fabregas.
