Arsenal target Danilo open to Porto exit

Reported Arsenal target Danilo has fuelled speculation over a switch away from Porto by admitting that he would consider his future if "something good" came along.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is said to be targeting the Brazilian right-back as a potential replacement for Bacary Sagna, who is poised to leave the club.

Although Danilo says that he is happy in Portugal, the 22-year-old did little to dissuade prospective suitors by admitting that he could be persuaded to move.

"I'll say what is usually said, I am contracted until 2016," he told ESPN Brazil. "I am playing at Porto and have been playing well, which makes you get linked with top clubs.

"But there is a big difference between that and an offer that Porto accepts. I am happy at the moment and I am prepared to return to Porto.

"If something good for everyone comes along, we'll sit down, but for now it is just speculation."

The defender has a further two years to run on his existing contract.
