da 888casino: Sources in France Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has set his sights on Marseille defender Nicolas N’Koulou, according to InsideFutbol. The 21 year old only recently signed for Marseille after his previous club Monaco was relegated last year and it could be difficult to pry the Cameroonian away from the French club. However Didier Deschamps only paid €3.5m for N’Koulou and if a significant offer came in it could represent a good bit of business for Marseille.
da bet7k: Despite being so young N’Koulou has already notched up twenty-five appearances for Cameroon and came through the same academy as Samuel Eto’o and Carlos Kameni. His adaptation to the Champions League has been has been smooth enough for the Arsenal manager to know that N’Koulou is capable of playing at the highest level. Despite Wenger having recently signed Per Mertesacker to leave him with five central defenders N’Koulou’s ability to play in a defensive midfield role provides an extra attraction for Arsenal, especially considering the reports that Alex Song is unsure where his future lies.
Wenger has been sending scouts to watch N’Koulou since his time at Monaco and should this season not demonstrate an improvement in Arsenal’s defensive abilities interest in the Cameroonian could intensify.
