Arsenal in for Samba

The Blackburn giant has again been linked with a move to Arsenal in a £12million move.

Samba nearly moved to the Emirates in January, only for a move to collapse that minute, but a move could be back on reports the Guardian.

Arsenal has been linked with other central defenders, including Everton’s Phil Jagielka, Bolton star Gary Cahill and Mamadou Sakho of Paris Saint-Germain but Samba appears to be the cheaper alternative.

Samba has made his ambitions clear and the 27-year old said ‘I am at an age where I want to try to do something. You have only one career and it would be a shame not to make the best of it.’

12 million quid could be enough to entice the 6ft 4in monster to North London next year.
