Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Eboue claims he knows nothing about a move to Paris St Germain after being linked with the Ligue 1 club.

2009 Summer Transfers



The Ivory Coast international, who made just 17 Premier League starts last season without really impressing, has been tipped to leave the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Eboue has confirmed he is unhappy at his lack of first-team football under manager Arsene Wenger, but points out he remains contracted to the Gunners.

The 26-year-old has admitted PSG are a good side, but his preferred objective is to stay with Arsenal and fight for his first-team place rather than seeking a move elsewhere.

"I'm not aware of any contact with PSG. They are a good team, however, I have a contract with Arsenal," he told skysports.com.

"My ambition is to stay and play but because of a lack of first-team play, I'm not happy. I want to play."

Reports in France claim PSG are ready to table a Ł5.9million bid for the defender.

Arsenal’s Spanish starlet Fran Mérida insists that he is happy with life in North London and acknowledges that he is still some way from becoming a regular starter in the first-team.

Mérida is entering his fourth season with the Gunners and made his Premier League debut last term, against West Bromwich Albion. He followed it up with another substitute appearance at Fratton Park against Portsmouth and played in all three Carling Cup fixtures.

Having spent time on loan at Real Sociedad in 2007/08, rumours persisted that Fran was set for a return to his homeland, but he says that this is far from the truth:

“When I heard, I spoke to Arsenal to find out their plans,”

“They told me they wanted me to stay, because I would be introduced to the team gradually in the cups and, well, I played two games in The Premier League, three in the League Cup, one in the Champions League.

“It is important, because you see that the club is showing confidence in you and you are taking steps forward in that respect.

“It’s true that the option to stay at Real existed, but we all decided that it was best to stay at Arsenal and I’m happy.”

He went on to examine the difficulties of breaking into the first-team at Emirates Stadium:

“You always want to play, but I knew that I was going to be a back-up and that there were players from my level in the first-team.

“For me, the situation is very positive. I’m happy, but there is always room for improvement – that much is clear.

“My intention is to break into the first-team, step by step, but I don’t want to get obsessed.

“Right now I’m very happy, and I want to stay there for many years and be a success. If things were not so good, I would re-examine my life.”

The future looks bright for Fran and more first-team appearances are surely just around the corner.

ALONSO EXPECTS TO STAY AT LIVERPOOL

Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has said that he is not planning to leave the club this summer.

The Spain international has recently been linked with a move to Real Madrid amidst rumours of a rift between himself and Reds boss Rafael Benitez.

Alonso did not rule out a move away from Liverpool but insisted that he is happy at Anfield.

"I am happy at Liverpool but in football you cannot close the doors on anything because you don't know what will happen. I do not plan to go," he told El Pais.


"With Sami Hyypia already gone, I am one of the senior players alongside Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard.

"There was strong interest in me from Madrid (in 2004) but Liverpool came and that is where I went. It was not a wrong decision, not for me anyway. I have played at Liverpool, a special club, and grown as a player and won titles."

The 27-year-old also denied that his relationship with Benitez has deteriorated in light of the manager's indecision over his future last year.

"Each one has his own point of view. He is the manager and I try to do the best with what he tells me," Alonso added.

"We have a good professional relationship. We speak normally, saying what he wants from me and what I can give. He makes the decisions and we try to execute them.

"Last summer there was certain indecision and I did not know what was going to happen. I finished up playing well, though. I have had two quite complete seasons."

Dossena was ok but nothing great.
