Arsenal are plotting a shock move for Bayern Munich’s David Alaba, according to the Daily Star.
Despite achieving the treble with the Bavarian giants this season, the 20-year-old was left frustrated at being deployed in the left-back role rather than in his favoured central midfield position.
He said:
‘The club sees me at the moment as a left defender. But I see myself as a midfielder and I have all of that in mind.
‘I try to keep quiet in this regard, but it is a goal of mine to become a regular for Bayern in central midfield.’
It is believed Munich have no interest in selling the young Austrian, who is due to sit down and discuss a new contract at the Allianz Arena.
However should Alaba fail to get the assurances that he’s looking for then he may well consider his options, despite being tied down to Bayern until 2015.
Bayern have been linked with a reported £15 million summer move for Laurent Koscielny and could be tempted to part ways with Alaba if the Frenchman was to be included in a potential deal this summer.
Alaba is one hell of a player. He impressed me in the Champions League this season and would be a great signing.
But if we are indeed interested in the Austrian then should we propose/consider a player exchange deal with Bayern – Alaba for Koscielny?
Is this a joke? Seriously?! Kos is worth double what Alaba is.
you’re mad.
Koscielny’s a gem. There are few CBs in Europe who are as good as him at the moment and it’s a major problem area for us. He’s a lot better than Mertesacker (who is a good defender) and miles better than Vermaelen. Swapping him for Alaba would be 1 step forward and 3 steps back. Swapping him for Dante would be a reasonable exchange, but why bother?
dis writer is definitely not an arsenal fan. Crazy article, alaba 4 kos, u must be drunk
If you read the article properly, you will see the writer doesn’t say anything about making this deal happen. Just asking a question.
A big No. If really wenger wants him he should just buy but not exchanging. Kos is a superb player actually better than verm. Alaba is also good but everybody is special in his respective field.
Have you been drinking ?take sagna for alaba and dont turn back
NO WAY
take sagna nd leave kos for xchange of alaba .bt bring grenir,jovetic,rooney,williams,e.t.c. To emirate
NO THANKS!!!
Alaba for Boscielny hmmm even a mad manager lile mourinho wont agree that and please stop posting brainless articles.
Does the writer say we should make this deal happen? No, he doesn’t, so what are you on mate?
