Is this Gunner a goner?

The Daily Mirror recently reported that Arsenal misfit Emmanuel Eboue is being targeted by Turkish giants Galatasaray.

The 28-year-old right-back, who started just 8 Premier League games last season for the Gunners, didn’t manage to board the plane to the clubs tour of Asia last week – along with outcasts Nicklas Bendtner and Manuel Almunia – because he was reportedly injured.

The Turkish outfit are now believed to be closing in on the Ivory Coast international, and with the recent capture of youngster Carl Jenkinson, who participated in both of Arsenal’s pre-season games in Asia, Eboue’s future at the Emirates looks very bleak at present.

So, is it the end of the road for Eboue at Arsenal? You have to think so.

Whilst Bacary Sagna will undoubtedly be a first-team regular this season, I think Carl Jenkinson has the mobility and technique to overtake Eboue in the pecking order.

Whether Arsene Wenger has other plans for the Ivorian – who can play at right wing and has been deployed as a central midfielder in the past – remains to be seen.

Although he brings life to the club and keeps team morale and spirits high with his jovial antics, I personally believe that his time at Arsenal is up.

If we can bag around £5 million for his sale, then that would be great.

    the only way i would sell eboue is if he asked to leave. he’s probably the most dynamic player we have as far as number of positions he can play and his athleticism, not to mention his presence in the dressing room. why would you jettison a player like that?

    like i said, only if he asked to leave.
