Arsenal poach Monaco striker from Lille! Wenge’s surprise signing is ready for a medical!


Arsene Wenger never fails to surprise us, and it looks like he has pulled off a coup by hijacking the move of Monaco’s South Korean striker Park Chu-Young, who had agreed terms with Lille and was supposedly on his way to the north of France to complete a medical with the Ligue 1 Champions.

Instead it seems he has instead headed to the Emirates to finalise a move to Arsenal! The Lille President Michel Seydoux said: “We haven’t had a telephone call, nothing.”

“From what we understand he could be at Arsenal.”

“Like Monaco, Lille are baffled! Everything about his move had been agreed.”

“This type of behaviour is not acceptable, in any event it doesn’t correspond with the spirit here at Lille.”

Even the BBC has confirmed that the 26 year-old is expected to sign for Arsenal once he completes his medical, and although Wenger will be very happy to have sealed the signing, I can’t imagine that Lille are going to be open for any further talks with Arsenal about Eden Hazard!
