Denilson leaves Arsenal to join Sao Paulo

Arsenal have confirmed midfielder Denilson has returned to former club Sao Paulo on loan for the 2011-12 campaign.

The 23 year-old, signed in Aug 2006, struggled to hold down a regular place in Arsene Wenger's side last season.

Denilson said: "I will be playing in Brazil next season as I felt that this is a good opportunity for me to play regular first-team football. I move away with sadness because I have so many friends at Arsenal and everyone has always been so supportive towards me. I wish them well for next season."
