He is the latest Denilson that would probably make big. Last year many were anticipating of his promising performance, unfortunately it was hampered by an injury last January 2008. He joined Arsenal on August 31, 2006. His first was against West Bromwich Albion in a Carling Cup game.
His full name is Denílson Pereira Neves born in Sao Paolo Brazil. He has a call up for the Brazil National Team. But Denilson has to prove his performance at the club in Arsenal before he start his first game.
I hope this 20 year old Denilson won’t be a flop just like the Denilson born in 1977, who is now playing for Palmieras in Brazil.
