Eric Abidal in Barcelona Shirt |
Arsene Wenger has confirmed interest on Barcelona defender Eric Abidal. He is keen to bid at least £4.1 million for 32 year old defender.
In mean time, Arsenal lack defender as Thomas Vermeelan, Jenkinson, Coquelin, Sagna, Kieran Gibbs are all injured. Coquelin who was naturally a midfielder was filling left back position but he too got injured in FA Cup clash against Leeds.
Arsene Wenger must sign a new defender this season or the same old story will repeat again. It was same condition last season after almost all starting 11 were injured and there were none to replace them. If Arsenal could sign Abidal in £4.1 million, it would be a cheap but important signing.
Contract talks has been stalled between player and the club right now but he has enough time to decide whether to stay at Barcelona or move to North London.
Abidal who is 32 years old had an operation in liver in March, 2011 is filling in Pique and Puyol, who have both been ruled out due to injury. If Abidal makes his decision to play from North London Club Arsenal, he is still expected to play good for few years.
