The Lille star is finally moving to arsenal. The club made an official statement stating that the Ivory Coast international would be playing for Arsenal next season. The deal is believed to be around €12 million.
Arsenal had agreed personal terms with the player last month but have spent all this time agreeing the price for the player.
The Ivorian produced wonderful performances last term, scoring 15 goals in 35 games and also dishing up 10 assists in the process. These performances not only helping in clinching the Coupe de France (the FA cup of France) but also the League 1 title, which the club had not won for the past 57 years. And hopefully he can repeat the same hear at Arsenal, who have not seen any trophy since 2005.

Arsenal have already left for Malaysia as a part of their Summer tour of Asia, and Wenger joined the Gunners after completing the deal; But arrived without his new recruit.
The 24 year old Ivorian who has featured for his country 24 times looks to emulate the success of fellow countryman Didier Drogba. Drogba has been the focal point of Chelsea's attack and Gervinho looks to do the same at Arsenal. Here he joins another countryman, Emmanuel Eboue. Hopefully an Ivorian partnership is to be seen next season.
The arrival of Gervinho probably means the axe for Nicklas Bendtner. The Danish Striker has just not lived up to his full potential and so might be leaving the club later this summer. With interest from Borussia Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon growing, the striker could be out of the club later this month.
