The Lyon star has reportedly been sought by several European sides, but according to his agent is holding out for a switch to Old Trafford.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 is a breeding ground for top talent and has several world-class players plying their trade there.
From http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 to Loic Remy, these footballers would often walk into any European side they deem fit, but the attackers have often overshadowed the skills of defenders in the league.
One such prime example is http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aly-Cissokho-c5313, who has established himself as one of the continent’s best left-backs.
The French International was initially on his way to Italian giants AC Milan in 2009, but the San Siro outfit rejected the deal, as he failed his medical.
Lyon took a gamble on him and it has surely paid off, with the former Porto man exciting crowds with his attacking play without compromising on his defensive duties
According to reports, his performances have attracted attention from a host of top clubs, with Newcastle United and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 allegedly looking to sign him after failing to do so last summer.
The Magpies had their £7 million bid for the full-back rejected by Lyon, who claimed that their prized asset was surely worth more.
Arsene Wenger was heavily linked with the player, as Gael Clichy left the Emirates in favour of the Etihad last summer, prompting the French man to scour the market for potential replacements.
However the player’s agent claims that his client wants to play in the Premier League and more specifically for Manchester United.
“Aly wants to play in the Premier League because he feels it suits his game. He has already turned down interest from AC Milan and Juventus because he wants to move to the Premier League and his preferred destination would be Manchester United,” his representative
Ali Barat was quoted as saying.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s side are currently filled with defensive options, but the Scot’s mind will be tempted to lure Cissokho as Patrice Evra’s long term replacement.
The Blues’ skipper has not reached the high standards he set for himself in the last couple of games and United could potentially cough up the necessary cash to sign the 24-year-old this summer.
