The once highly-rated Brazilian youngster will see his Arsenal career come to an end this summer after the club informed him that he is not part of their plans ahead of the 2013/14 season.

Denilson has spent nearly two seasons now in his homeland after being shipped back to his old club Sao Paulo during the summer of 2011, despite the exits of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri leaving a void in Arsenal’s midfield.

The aim of Denilson’s initial loan move was for the midfielder to rediscover the potential which saw him attract a £3.4million transfer to the Emirates stadium in August 2006.

But despite a solid effort in this campaign’s Campeonato Brasileiro, the 25-year-old has failed to convince the Gunners and even he admitted concerns over his future recently.

“I don’t know what will happen but I hope my situation is solved quickly.” Denilson said

Sao Paulo on the other hand are stalling over their decision.  Vice-president Joao Paulo de Jesus Lopes revealed two weeks ago that there will be no offer of a permanent move for Denilson just yet because it would ‘cost more money’.

Meanwhile, other forgotten Arsenal loanees Nicklas Bendtner, Maroaune Chamakh, Andre Santos and Johan Djourou will discuss their future with the club next month.

But if the Gunners’ away kit looked like this, would you buy it?

Three goals in eight dramatic minutes grabbed all three points for Arsenal in this decisive fixture on Tuesday.

It was a frantic spell between the 63rd and 71st minute which swung the pendulum marginally Arsenal’s way in that long race for a top four spot ahead of Sunday’s final day of the campaign.

The outcome – which relegated Wigan – was emphatic in the end, but after Shaun Maloney’s brilliant free-kick had canceled out Podolski’s early opener just a minute before the break, there were more questions than answers for the Gunners during half-time.

To their credit, Wenger’s men along with their opponents returned for the second-half in full-blooded fashion as this contest became a wide open one. But Wigan suddenly surrendered the fight when Walcott bundled home a cross from Cazorla to make it 2-1 before the Spaniard set up Podolksi to coolly score a third five minutes later.

Then came the icing on the cake from Ramsey who chose today to score his first Premier League goal of the season by racing onto a through pass and whipping the ball beyond the goalkeeper.

The French striker only moved to London during the January transfer window, but even he could not help salvage his side from suffering relegation as Rangers now prepare for life in the Championship.

And with the club in the midst of a financial crisis which includes an £89 million debt, several of QPR’s prized assets who are earning high wages will not be denied a move away from the club.

One player certain to attract a move elsewhere is Loic Remy who has managed to net five goals in his short spell with Rangers, becoming the club’s joint top scorer this season along with Bobby Zamora and Adel Taarabt.

Indeed, Arsenal have been keeping tabs on Remy ever since his loan spell at Lens during his days as a youngster in France and after losing the battle to secure his services when the former Lyon boy joined Marseille in 2010, the Gunners are now ready to pounce on a second chance to sign the France international.

Incoming reports are now suggesting that QPR chairman Tony Fernandes has listed Remy amongst players who are available for sale this summer and the striker will come cheap for any suitors considering the relegation clause of just £6 million he has on his contract.

Remy is deemed to be a fan of the Gunners, but Arsenal, who sent out chief scout Steve Rowley to study the 6’1 forward in action a week before he featured against Wenger’s men last Saturday, may have to convince Remy into taking a pay-cut from the current £75,000-a-week deal he pockets at Loftus Road.

Chelsea began the night on the front foot and forced a corner from which Oscar helped Cahill’s header into the net after just ten minutes.

The home side seemed to mean business today and could always have put their north London opponents to bed with a second goal, but out of nothing Spurs were level.

Arsenal’s nearest neighbours broke into a counter-attack spear-headed by former Gunner Adebayor who waited, waited and picked his spot in the top corner of the net. Tottenham’s no. 25 had netted a scorcher from about 25 yards out.

And if the response from Villas-Boas’ men to going behind was nothing short of sensational, then that of Benitez’s men following Adebayor’s equalizer was worthy of praise too.

The visitors were a caught in a swift move by Chelsea and Ramires capitalized by curling a low shot across Lloris from the edge of the area to hand the home side another lead.

It all looked to have crumbled for Arsenal as far their hopes of third place finish were concerned as Chelsea inched closer to a victory which would have not just tightened their grip on that third spot but effectively sealed a top four place or them.

But with just ten minutes to go, Adebayor laid off the ball so well for Sigurdsson who coolly finished past Cech as it all ended in a pulsating 2-2 draw.

Chelsea now sit at third with 69 points, followed by Arsenal with 67 while Tottenham have 66.

Sure, it is a different Dortmund side this year, but until their affordable defeat at Real Madrid, Wenger’s men had been the last side to see off last season’s Bundesliga champions. Madrid and Barcelona may have been battered, but we sure weren’t and this cartoon does justice to that fact.

The occasion, reported to be held after the completion of this campaign will take place primarily between the Frenchman and the club’s chief executive Ivan Gazidis, including selected members of the Arsenal board.

Wenger will be out of contract at the club by this time next year following the 2013-14 season, but the meeting will not be all about the future of the the Gunners’ boss.

Essential matters like the progress of the team and possible transfer moves will be discussed when the men gather in June, but as far as Wenger’s contract situation is concerned, the club is unwilling to offer any new deal just yet.

The 63-year-old last renewed his contract at the Emirates in August 2010 in a very profitable three-year extension which put him amongst the highest earning managers in the game.

Wenger has not only attracted strong criticism from certain frustrated Arsenal fans in recent times but some strong interest too from PSG over a return to France. Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood though, has already labelled rumours about the Frenchman moving back to his country as “nonsense”.

The defender’s howler on Sunday ensured that Arsenal could only settle for a 1-1 draw after a dominant first-half display against Manchester United.

The Gunners witnessed former striker Robin van Persie dominate the headlines before and after the match, but the penalty-kick which the Dutchman dispatched on Sunday was gifted by a loose pass and then a rush tackle by Sagna who had his head in his hands afterwards.

That was the only shame in a gutsy display from Wenger’s men against the newly crowned champions and despite gaining what could be a useful point on the table, the Arsenal boss admitted that his right-back was at fault.

“No [he didn't tell me what was going through his mind]. He is very disappointed tonight, he is a boy who gives absolutely everything in every game” Wenger said

“I think he made a bad pass, that can happen, and maybe after he panicked a little bit and maybe wanted to repair too quickly what he did, but he had time to tackle.”

Once an integral part of Arsene Wenger’s side, injuries and below-par shows in recent times have seen a dip in form from Sagna, but before talks of replacing the French defender begin, the Arsenal manager praised Sagna’s usual services.

 ”He has saved us so many times but that unfortunately happened today.” he added

Sagna will be out of contract next year in the summer of 2014, but the club is yet to offer him an extension to his current deal.

Edu Gaspar, who helped secure two Premier League crowns for Arsene Wenger in only four years in north London, claims that the Gunners’ inability to retain its prized assets over the past eight years has contributed to what is becoming a long trophy drought.

Asked whether he ever thought the FA Cup triumph he enjoyed on his final day as an Arsenal player would go on to be the club’s last taste of silverware to date, the Brazilian was quick to admit his disbelief.

“No! No, because I did not imagine that Arsenal would sell so many big players in such a short period of time as they have done.” Edu confessed

“But even then because of Arsenal’s grander, I did not imagine that the club could spend so long without winning a title because I got used to Arsenal back in the early days, winning so many trophies ” He added

By the end of his Arsenal stay in May 2005, Edu was looking back at five major honours in the red and white, and despite the failures of those who have taken over from him, Arsenal’s former no. 17 is adamant that the Gunners will rediscover their glorious days.

“The club will return to winning ways. It will restructure itself once again because it is a team that deserves it” Edu said

Indeed, even after the exits of the Vieira’s and Henry’s, the Gunners were still considered bitter foes to the red devils for a while through the talents Fabregas and company but the gap has widened these days.

Anyway, here is a Nike commercial from almost half a decade ago which glorified the two club’s competitive relationship, but as you watch, you may notice how the man who has already made all the headlines for Sunday was not even featured in this famous ad.
