  CHEEKY Arsenal fans have offered to help the club flog wantaway midfielder Denilson — by putting him up for sale on eBay!

  The Brazilian has told boss Arsene Wenger he wants to end his five-year stay in London to join a club in Italy or Spain after failing to win silverware with the Gunners.

  He said: "I am a winner and I came to Arsenal to win trophies but I've been here for five years and won nothing.

  "A footballer's career is over very quickly so it is time for me to move on."

  Denilson has played in 153 games and scored 10 goals during his time at Arsenal but no offers have been lodged for him.

  The 23-year-old is much maligned by supporters because of his cautious style and fondness for sideways passes.

  And he was further mocked after one statistic revealed just 31 per cent of his passes went in a forward direction.

  He is behind Cesc Fabregas, Jack Wilshere, Alex Song, Aaron Ramsey and Abou Diaby in the Arsenal pecking order and a move away from the Emirates is inevitable.

  But with no firm interest of yet, one mischievous Gunners fan has decided to advertise Denilson's services on the internet auction site — with the opening bid starting at just £68.70.

  The seller's description says Denilson has "160+ games on the clock, but don't worry, at no time was this player ever over exerted."

  It continues: "In fact, he's so easy going, even podgy middle aged referees breeze past him in important games.

  "He's technically sound, literally never seems to get injured, passes sideways with precision and vigour and would be perfect for a team that requires a slow defensive midfielder that is less mobile that a beached oil tanker."

  Bidding for Denilson reached £15,000 but the listing has since been removed from eBay.

  Denilson agent cools Milan talk

  The agent of Arsenal midfielder Denilson has played down rumours linking him with AC Milan and says the Brazilian is staying at The Emirates.

   

   

  

   

   

  Reports in the Italian media have suggested the Brazilian, who joined Arsene Wenger's side in 2006, could be set for a switch to the San Siro this summer after failing to tie down a regular place with the Gunners.

  But the 23-year-old's agent, Gerardo Santiago, has denied having contact with the Rossoneri or any other club.

  He told calciomercato.it: "I know nothing of AC Milan's interest. I think at the moment these are only rumours.

  "The only certainty right now is that Denilson will be at training with Arsenal on July 7th.

  "Are Spanish and other Italian clubs chasing him? Currently there are no negotiations.

  "With Wenger we often talk about other issues, but we have never touched on the topic of a possible departure for Denilson."
