Arsenal are continuing to monitor the progress of Porto defender Danilo Pereira, according to reports.

The Brazil international has been linked with a move to North London on numerous occasions over recent years, with Arsenal's interest in the player thought to stretch as far back as 2011.

Portuguese outlet O Jogo reports that the Gunners are still considering an approach for the full-back and have been in touch with the player over a possible move.

Arsenal have concerns over the 26-year-old's fitness, though, after he was ruled out of this summer's World Cup due to an Achilles injury.

The Premier League side will continue to track Danilo's recovery as they press on with their transfer plans while also looking for a new manager, with former Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain boss Unai Emery now expected to take over from Arsene Wenger.
