Sevilla may soon be receiving a sneaky bid from Arsenal for midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia. Arsenal have let it known this summer that they have the intention of spending big and bringing the club back to it’s invincible status it once had. Arsene Wenger has already been scouting a whole array of players from all over the world. At one point it seemed they were going to secure a deal to sign Real Madrid attacker Gonzalo Higuain. They haven’t kept quiet about their desire to ‘bring Fabregas home‘ and they have also been audaciously bidding for Luis Suarez. Let’s not forget the fact they said Wayne Rooney was a target as well.
Next in line for a speculative cross hair to be placed on them is Geoffrey Kondogbia. The versatile 20-year-old can play as a holding midfielder, centre back and even a left back. Kondogbia currently plays his club football for Sevilla in La liga mainly being utilised in a defensive midfield role.
He has sprung into the lime light as of late when he was selected for the French U20 national side in the World Cup held in Turkey. He opened the scoring for his side in the first game against Ghana. Then scored the next goal for his nation in the following match.
Real Madrid have also shown interest in the young Frenchman but seem to of turned their attention to Asier Illarramendi. Sevilla who failed to qualify for European competition last term are now facing the prospect of losing some of their best players. Arsene Wenger is hoping that the promise of Champions League football could be enough to tempt Kondogbia to the Emirates.
