Pele Wants To Sign For Arsenal FC...and other youngsters....

Yoann Pele has responded to speculation linking him with a move to Arsenal Football Club. The young goalkeeper has said he wants to sign for the gunners and has said that Arsenal have watched him several times this season. He is seen as a long term successor to Jens Lehmann. Also Arsenal are interested in signing Rennes midfielder Yoann Gourcuff. The 19 year old has been targeted by Italian giants AC Milan and Juventus but Arsene Wenger hopes to beat the Italian clubs to sign the youngster.

A Rennes official confirmed: “Yoann was approached after the club’s game in Toulouse.

“It was an Arsenal representative who wanted to discuss the player’s opinion of going to England.

“His contract ends at the end of next season and his future hasn’t been decided yet.

“We cannot do anything about him leaving if the offer is right.”

More youngsters for Ashburton and beyond, sure Wenger knows of their tallents but it is way to early to be talking of transfer talk, most of it is usually rubbish in the press so I wont take much notice of it. I think we need a few solid experienced players in rather than pure youngsters, but we will worry about that in the summer!
