I don’t know whether this is a wind up or not, but Arsenal are supposedly looking to bring in Nikola Zigic with Olivier Giroud out for of action for a few months.
Arsene Wenger wasn’t looking to sign a new striker this summer, but with Giroud sidelined until possibly the New Year, the Frenchman may be forced to rethink the matter.
Several forward shave been linked as a result, with Loic Remy, Edinson Cavani and Danny Welbeck all on the list.
However, shockingly, Wenger has made a move for Zigic!
Having left Birmingham in July when his contract expired, the 6’8’’ Serbian is a free agent.
Reports in Serbia, according to the Daily Mail, suggest Zigic, who will turn 34 next month, is due to travel to London for a medical ahead of signing a one-year deal at the Emirates.
The striker’s agent had this to say on the matter:
‘Wenger called me on Tuesday and stressed his desire to sign Zigic.
‘He was offered a contract until the end of the year, with a view to it being extended to 2015 – we’ll see what happens.’
If this proves to be true then I will be deeply upset and frustrated at the same time with Wenger.
Clearly the Frenchman has chosen to go with the cheap option rather than sign a top striker which we all want to see happen before deadline day.
I’m actually flabbergasted and stunned with this one, and REALLY hope this move doesn’t transpire.
If Wenger signs that lanky piece of crap I think all arsenal fans should boycott arsenals home matches until they cancel his imaginary contract.
Krap article, moronic comment.
I really don`t think this will happen, He is clearly not Arsenal class and this is just a wind up !! He`s got more chance of going to Tottenham !!!
