Reports in the Daily Nation have today confirmed that Kenyan midfield maestro McDonald Mariga is keen on a move to Arsenal.
The 23-year-old, who recently received a red card in Kenya’s 2-1 win over Angola having removed his shirt after scoring the winner, was speaking to Nation reporters at the JKIA Airport before boarding a plane back to Spain.
Mariga said:
‘I have always been honest with myself that I could play for any club in Europe, but to be honest it be a dream come true if one day I play for Arsenal. Right now am trying to play my best at Real Sociedad and I hope the loan spell goes well for me. I don’t have plans to go back to Inter Milan.’
It seems to me that the Kenyan vice captain has fallen out with Inter coach Gian Piero Gasperini and therefore wants to move on.
Whether Arsene Wenger takes note of him remains to be seen.

Am kenyan arsenal fan but i doubt he’ll add quality to our midfield at his current level
I do doubt that too but i think he’s much better than Ramsey.
He’s mo like Frimpong n Song,a defensive midfilder but one who knows how 2 score,one thng 4 sure he has killer shots,hp Wenger signs the Kenyan boy.
He would add steel 2 the team.
yea im from kenya,mariga could be a viera type of player,a great learner of the game en great engine,..wenger buy him..
No way, we do not need him. All we need now is a striker with killer instict and a creative midfielder, not Maliga. We are not going to buy any rejects out there.
The great thing about Mariga is his Vesatility n ability to intergrate in many formations.
no no no
will form good partnership with song at the heart of the mieldfield.has a lethal strike and a good engine as well.
Karibuni Mariga – Arsenal ni niumba yako.
