Denilson: I'll save Arsenal a fortune in transfers with a regular place in team

Denilson has promised Arsenal fans he will fight his way back into the team this season and save the club a fortune in the transfer market.

Arsenal supporters have been expressing concern about the state of the midfield after the sale of Gilberto and Alexander Hleb.

But Brazilian Denilson insists he is ready to nail down a regular first-team place, after he was blighted by injuries last season.

He said: 'I have two main objectives this season - to be in Arsenal’s starting XI and get my first cap for Brazil.

'I am fully fit and ready to go. We have a good team, with a lot of quality players.

'We have the skill, but need a bit more experience in the team.'

Arsenal's season frustratingly fell away last season after a strong challenge for honours.

Long time leaders of the Premier League, Arsenal eventually finished third behind Manchester United and Chelsea, and they were dramatically knocked out by Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the European Cup.

Denilson now believes the Gunners will bounce back from their disappointment and win their first title since 2004.

He added in the Sun: 'I believe in our team and I’m sure Arsenal will be the strongest one this year and win the title.'
