Arsenal full-back Gael Clichy on the brink of joining Manchester City
Arsenal full-back and French international, Gael Clichy is reported to be on the brink of completing his long awaited departure from the Emirates.
The defender was rumoured to be on his way out of the club, ever since the transfer window opened and it seems like the player is finally on the verge of getting his long awaited wish.
Clichy was previously linked with a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, however, as it stands, Manchester City are now the firm favourites to land the defender.
The Manchester based team, seem to have offered http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 seven million pounds for the player and with only one year left on his contract, the Gunners seem to have agreed to letting the player leave.
Clichy, is currently the last remaining member of the Invincible squad and with his departure, it seems like the Gunners will finally have to turn their sinking ship around. The team has failed to win any trophies for the last six years and should they fail
to win anything this time around, then it could potentially mark the time for some serious changes to be brought about at the club.
According to numerous sources, Clichy and Arsenal have mutually agreed to letting the player leave for the Eastlands and the only thing left to do, is for the player and his soon to be club, to agree personal terms.
With Clichy set to leave, Arsenal are going to have to turn to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kieran-Gibbs-c20945, who at the moment, is the only back-up to the French international at the Emirates.
So far, Manchester City have not really come forth and confirmed or denied any of these rumours and/or links that are being developed between Clichy and the Eastlands. However, despite that fact, it seems highly likely for the team to actually go ahead and
complete the French international’s signing within the next could of days.
Nonetheless, according to most experts, should Clichy’s departure from Arsenal be confirmed in the near future, then the Gunners are going to search the market for a decent replacement. So far, the only player that seems to be coming up in the team’s radar,
is http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leighton-Baines-c21987.
Baines has been one of the best defenders on display last season and as a result, the player has started to develop a strong fan base. In order to Arsenal to land the Everton full-back, they are going to have to act fact, or they might end up missing out
on both Clichy and a suitable replacement for him.
