Arsenal FC in pursuit of Tottenham Hotspur target Bryan Ruiz – Dutch Eredivisie news
Reports in English media indicate that Tottenham Hotspur are not the only side interested in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede’s Bryan Ruiz, as Arsenal FC are also taking keen interest in luring the versatile forward away from De Grolsch Veste.
The Costa Rican International joined the Tukkers in the summer of 2009 after making well over 50 appearances for AA Gent. The 25-year-old shined in his debut season at De Grolsch Veste and impressed many with his exceptional performances. He scored 24 goals
in 34 appearances while providing plenty of assists as well, helping his side to their maiden Eredivisie title.
The striker carried on his good form and had another impressive season with the Enschede outfit, scoring nine goals in 27 appearances while providing a bagful of assists in the 2010/11 campaign. His good performances have not gone unnoticed, as a host of
top European clubs have expressed interest in adding the striker to their ranks including Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and now the Gunners.
Joop Munsterman, the Tukkers president, has admitted that his side is willing to let go of their prized asset should a good offer come in. However, he revealed that none of the interested clubs have approached his side for a possible move for the striker.
“We have not heard anything from Tottenham or any other interested club”, Munsterman said while talking to the media.
The Tukkers president then went on to reveal that his side agreed a deal with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Costa-c9458 Rican ace that he could leave the club by the end of the 2010/11 campaign, but at a respectable price.
“Last year, we made a deal that he could leave this summer at a good price”, Munsterman concluded.
Ruiz has an ongoing contract with the Tukkers that runs until the summer of 2013. However, reports suggest that an offer in the region of 15 million Euros would be enough to lure the versatile forward away from De Grolsch Veste.
