Everton star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marouane-Fellaini-c24295 has been identified as a potential January transfer target for Arsenal, with Arsene Wenger stating that he is just the type of player who can succeed at the Emirates.
The Belgian powerhouse as emerged as one of the most sought after and coveted players in the Premier League. Fellaini has been in fine form this season, scoring 8 goals in 13 league appearances. The player is currently Everton’s top scorer, and their best
player, with 3 assists and 5 man-of-the-match performances.
The Belgian international made a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 in 2008, rejecting advances from Manchester United and reportedly Aston Villa, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich from Standard Liege. The player signed a five-year deal at Goodison Park and has become a fan favourite
ever since his move.
The player can play in any position. He arrived as a second striker and played behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tim-Cahill-c35085, but was then moved to a defensive midfield role. Recently, the player has been deployed as a box-to-box midfielder and is likened to Yaya Toure for his tenacious
and physical approach to games.
Arsene Wenger has long been teasing Arsenal fans who have been desperate for a star player in the team and a regular goal scoring source. The Frenchman has publicly stated his admiration for the Belgian, and has been a fan of him ever since he moved to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749.
Speaking at a press conference, Wenger had praised the Everton player and said:
“I just think he is a good player. Everton’s offensive game turns around him. He is the target man they look for, and in recent years he is moving further forward.”
“When he arrived at Everton, he was more defensive. Now he is more forward and it looks like he will finish centre-forward. He uses his body well, but he is not a dirt player. He’s an intelligent player.”
When asked if Fellaini could possibly do a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, the Frenchman smiled and replied: “Yes.”
The Belgian is exactly the sort of player that Wenger likes, especially since he can play in a number of positions and can easily adapt and change his game. Arsenal are expected to be busy in the January transfer market because of the team’s failure to get
results recently, and their need of attacking reinforcements.
The manager’s remarks clearly indicate a January move for the Belgian’s services may be on the cards. Fellaini is also rumoured to be on the radar of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and Manchester City, but it is understood that Arsenal may be his preferred destination since the
club plays the sort of attacking football the Belgian revels in.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Abou-Diaby-c3453 out injured and always struggling with fitness, Arsenal could definitely use some steel in midfield, and that is something Fellaini will definitely equip the Gunners with.
