Pereira Neves Denilson

Teenage Brazilian midfielder Denilson joined Arsenal from Sao Paulo in the summer of 2006, having already captained his country's Under-19 side.

Described by manager Arsene Wenger as "a little bit in between Tom€ Rosick€ and Gilberto", Denilson will be looking to push for a place in the Gunners first-team over the next few seasons.

He already has a few honours to his name, having been a part of the Sao Paulo side which won the 2005 Copa Libertadores and the 2005 FIFA Club World Cup. He also captained the Brazil U-19 side to the South American U-17 Championship in 2005.

He made his debut for Arsenal FC in the Carling Cup tie against West Brom on 24 October 2006, playing 78 minutes in a 2-0 victory.

He also featured in the Fourth Round tie against Everton and the impressive 6-3 victory over Liverpool at Anfield in the quarter-final.

He continued his progress in 2007/08 and his impressive form earned him a new contract, making him a promising prospect for the future.
