Denilson 'makes Sao Paulo stay permanent following Arsenal exit'

Former Arsenal midfielder Denilson has reportedly moved to Sao Paulo on a permanent basis following his exit from the Emirates.

The 25-year-old spent the last two seasons on loan at the Brazilian outfit after dropping down the rankings at the North London club.

Denilson, who spent five years on Arsenal's books, is believed to have signed a four-year contract with the outfit, according to Sky Sports News.

The midfielder, who scored seven goals during his time with the Gunners, had his contract terminated by mutual consent.
