While Olympique Lyonnais are considering whether to sign a central defender or not, English Premier League side Arsenal FC are considering making a move for the Rhone club’s left-back Aly Cissokho who has been constantly linked with a move away from
Stade de Gerland.
There is no doubting the fact that Olympique Lyonnais’ top priority for the current winter transfer window is of signing a centre-back.
Coach Remi Garde is set to lose the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Burkina-Faso-c2862) for the upcoming African Cup of Nations.
While talking about the departures and replacing the players, Remi Garde said, “It is under consideration. The aim is to compensate for the absences but then you end up with players who cannot play and the group can quickly become unbalanced.”
However, Les Gones might still look to bring a defender to Stade de Gerland. Reports suggest that left-back Aly Cissokho is attracting considerable interest from English Premier League side Arsenal FC.
The 24-year-old has many times expressed his love for English football and is currently under the radar of Newcastle United and Sunderland. Reports suggest that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 manager Arsene Wenger.
The French tactician has his fair share of defensive woes that have been well-documented over the past few months.
Currently, Arsenal are without any designated left-back. Brazilian, Andre http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kieran-Gibbs-c20945. Wenger is now keen on signing a left-back this January and is tempted by Cissokho.
Furthermore, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 are also looking to let go of at least one big-name player this January in order to recoup some money for the club and to reduce the burden on the club’s finances.
A fee in the region of 10 million Euros is being considered enough to sign the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 man, an amount that the Gunners manager might not be willing to part with this January.
Wenger is already considering the cases of Manchester City outcast http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Taye-Taiwo-c34728. However, nothing can be confirmed when it comes to Arsenal’s transfer ambition as Arsene Wenger has shown in recent seasons, his ability of uncovering
unknown talents.
