GERVINHO IN GUNNERS´ SIGHTS.....nw he would do great things for the club.

French champions Lille have
confirmed they will speak with
Arsenal regarding the potential
sale of their striker Gervinho.
The Ivory Coast international
scored 15 goals from 35
appearances in Ligue 1 last
term to help Lille to the French
league and cup double.
With Lille unwilling to sell him to
French opposition, it now
appears the 24-year-old's
preferred destination is
England– with Arsenal and
Manchester City reported to
be his first choices.
Lille general manager Frederic
Paquet told French radio
station RMC the club could
soon commence talks with the
Gunners, but said the forward
–who has a year left to run
on his contract – would not
come cheap.
"He actually wants to leave,"
Paquet said.
"He expressed his desire to
leave for England so we'll see
what will happen. Gervinho
chose to leave for England, so
that limits the scope of the
situation."
"We have developed contacts
with Arsenal and we will soon
discuss with them to see what
they want."
"We will meet soon with Arsenal
and see what they offer– but
he is a player of value.".
