The Brazilian midfielder's calming presence and leadership qualities would be a valuable asset to the team, according to Silva.

“For me, Casemiro is still a good player. I don’t know whether he’s going to stay or not in the club, but he is a player I would love to have on my team,” Silva told Bet365.He added,

“Casemiro could be a good fit for Arsenal, let’s wait and see what happens.

“It would be very interesting if Thomas Partey left the club. If that spot becomes available then it would be interesting to see Casemiro there.

“He would bring a very strong and stable option to their midfield.”
