We have a new piece of Arsenal transfer gossip this evening from the Times.
They are saying that Arsene Wenger is considering a move for the 6ft 8 inch Ivory Coast striker Lacina Traoré, who is currently playing for CFR Cluj in Romania.
Traore is only 19 years old, but his size and strength has already gained him six goals from just twenty-one games for Cluj, and he is hotly tipped as a star of the future.
Many pundits have been calling him the new “Adebayor” but with his size he is closer to a Drogba style of striker, and if he progresses at this rate he may end up replacing the Chelsea hitman in the Ivory Coast national team.
The Cluj president, Iuliu Muresan , said today: “We had a first contact with Arsenal, but have not yet received any concrete offer.
“Four million Euros is close to the amount we require to release the player.
“Traore will leave when we receive an offer close to its value”
The player himself has also admitted that he is keen to move to the Emirates if the Arsenal interest becomes a firm offer. “It would be like a dream to play in a team like Arsenal,” he said. “but I do not want to think about that because there is nothing concrete yet and I do not want to raise my hopes too much”
If Wenger can get him now for just £4m it could be the bargain of the century!
