All the players that Arsenal have been linked with now seem to be becoming available at the same time. Blaise Matuidi was a Wenger target last summer, as admitted by the St.Etienne president Roland Romeye on Sky Sports this season.
“Wenger called me at the end of August to ask if Blaise was for sale. He didn’t make an offer as Blaise was not for sale,” said Romeyer.
“Next June we will have a meeting with Blaise and his agent about his future.”.
Today is now “next June” and Matuidi has admitted that he ready to leave, in another article on Sky Sports, which read: St Etienne midfielder Blaise Matuidi has declared that he wishes to leave the Ligue 1 club.
Matuidi’s impressive performances in France last season have led to reports that a number of sides are eyeing summer bids.
Premier League team Arsenal have been credited with an interest while Bordeaux and Marseille are said to be admirers.
The 22-year-old is ready for the next chapter in his career and is hopeful St Etienne will allow him to find a new club for the 2009/10 season.
“My wish, if I have the chance, is to leave,” he told L’Equipe.
“If I have an opportunity, I will ask to leave. I have already said this in-house and the leaders understand my choice, but they also expressed their desire to keep me, which I find understandable.
“My wish is to leave because I think it’s time. Or, if it’s necessary and I stay, I would also be happy.”
If that isn’t a come-and-get-me plea to Arsene Wenger, then i don’t know what is!
Do Arsenal fans still want to see him at the Emirates?
