Denilson heading back to Arsenal?

Sao Paulo's on-loan midfielder Denilson will reportedly return to parent club Arsenal at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old joined the Brazilian club in August after falling out of favour with the Gunners, but it is understood that the English outfit have refused to extend his loan spell in Brazil.

"I would stay another six months, but the decision was not mine. I have a contract with Arsenal and I have to stick to it," Denilson told The Sun.

Denilson has 153 Arsenal appearances to his name.
