Arsenal fans in meltdown on Twitter because Tuttosport had reported they were in advanced talks to sign him, now a well known journo says we're the only club to have made our interest concrete in him. According to Tuttosport, Arsenal made a £19.5million bid for him. BTW he has a £25.4million buy-out clause that his agent recently said he refuses to increase. Considering some of the fees flying around this wouldn't represent bad value considering his talent.
