Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger looking to rope in Scott Parker of West Ham United – EPL news
It has been reported that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is looking to rope in West Ham United midfielder Scott Parker in order to boost his team’s chances in the next season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 have probably been the biggest underachieving team in English football in the past six years. The Gunners have a number of excellent young players but what they lack is some experience and stability in the team. Arsene Wenger has so far stuck with
his policy of believing in youngsters and not buying big names, but as results speak for themselves apart from some flashy performances, he has not much to show for that.
Now the Frenchman has decided to finally move away from his policy of sticking with just youth, and it is believed that he is lining up a bid for West Ham United midfielder Scott Parker.
It is public knowledge that Wenger has had a strict rule of never going for players with a huge price tag, and players who are above the age of 30.
However, after another barren season where Arsenal promised a lot but delivered nothing, Wenger has no other option but to change his ways. Wenger will finally have to dig deep in the pockets of club funds and buy some big names as well as some experienced
ones which may not cost that much.
Scott Parker falls in the latter category and will be a welcome addition to the Gunners squad. According to a leading British newspaper, Wenger has earmarked Scott Parker as one of his primary targets in the summer 2011 transfer window.
The England international Parker, who has been voted Player of the Year by the Football Writers’ Association in the ongoing 2010-11 season, is not surprisingly looking to end terms with West Ham after the club was relegated last week. A move across town
to Arsenal may be an ideal fit not just for Parker but also for Arsenal.
The incentive of adding experience to his team may not be the only thing motivating Arsene to get Parker. The prospects of Cesc Fabregas once again being lured by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 may be a reason for Wenger to strengthen his midfield in the summer.
Parker will fit in well with the one touch football system at Arsenal. He played exceedingly well alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041.
Scott Parker is expected to cost Arsenal 6 million pounds, and considering that he has three years running on his contract he will want a contract worth the same amount of time at Arsenal.
The transfer market this summer may see a lot of activity in London, as Arsenal and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 will both be looking to reshape their teams in order to compete at par with Manchester United and the cash rich Manchester City.
