YOUNG midfielder Denilson has earmarked this season as his breakthrough year at Arsenal.
The highly-promising 19-year-old has managed just a bit-part role in his first two years with the north Londoners.
Mathieu Flamini and Gilberto have both departed the club this summer, giving Denilson the ideal opportunity to stamp his mark on the first team.
"It is time for me to show what I can do," said the young Brazilian, who started the Gunners' Premier League opener against West Brom on Saturday .
"The coach (Arsene Wenger) is giving me opportunities and I know I have to make the most of them.
"This is my third season here, I am now much more mature."
