Arsenal want Black Stars midfielder Afriyie Acquah
Posted On Sunday, 9th December 2012
Afriyie Acquah in action for Parma
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will send a scout to the Africa Cup of Nations to monitor Afriyie Acquah if he makes Ghana’s squad.
According to sources, the Frenchman believes the Ghanaian is the perfect replacement for compatriot Michael Essien and fits the bill for Arsenal.
Wenger is prepared to dole out 10 million Euros for the combative midfielder in the January transfer window shuts.
Acquah’s strength, drive, strong tackles and fierce shots makes him a big transfer target of Wenger.
The 20-year-old will provide more defensive options for regulars Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere.
He is currently on a season-long loan move at Parma from fellow Italian Serie A side Palermo.

Mmm that’s gud news
I think Arsenal is blessed with enough midfield talents. What they need are experienced defenders and an out and out striker.
This is a professional club who have done analysis and decided they could use him and you, AN ASSHOLE CRIMINAL want to put him down!!!
Gud news,arsenal need a defensive midfielder.
I reserve the combative afriyie stay in italy. for his nature may just not suit a tactical brit non-combative midfield
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaapu!,what’s he going to at arsenal?not disrecpecting the gentleman.Afriyie is just an average player
You are a devil with an agenda!! Son of a whore!!
y all dis niggers hating
@Ghanaman u are nothing but a faggot!!!idiot!do u know the number of defensive midfielders are in arsenal? i dont blame u but rather i’ll curse the rotting pussy that gave birth to animal like u!wanker!u think u monopoly over abuse abi?bush boy!do u think wenger will buy a player and send hím to the reserve team?check how many matches he Afriyie has play this season for his club.i won’t be surprise to read from GSN 2mrw that liverpool is after inkoom and opare.LOSSER!GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!
Son of a WHORE, he is a starter for his club right now!! Maybe you need a brain!!
Good choice by Wenger.But I wonder if Afriyie will start for the Stars at AFCON for him to be observed by the scouts.
i take this news with a grain of salt.How come arsenal who just sent frimpong to charlton will want acquah? and for next season?
If this news is true then wenger only wants to discourage Frimpong from joining Ghana to Afcon. sort of subliminal scare tactic. idddiots!
Or maybe he wants both!
Cool.
