Arsenal looking to hijack Chelsea deal for ‘New Essien’

Jose Mourinho’s side are looking to spend money to try and rescue their dire start to the season, and it has been reported that the Blues have sent representatives to Italy to secure the signing of the young Cagliari midfielder Godfred Donsah, but according to his agent Oliver Arthur, Arsenal are also interested in signing the 19 year-old.

“There’s lots of interest in Donsah as of now,” Arthur said. “Especially from clubs in the UK.

“Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal have made official enquiries about him. Until now they are scouting him and there’s nothing concrete.

“The player is happy to hear of all this interest and the fact that his efforts are being noticed by bigger clubs.”

Donsah may be young but he made 21 eye-catching appearances for Cagliari last season, and could be regarded as long term competition for Francis Coquelin in Arsenal’s central midfield.

Many Arsenal fans think that our need for a new up-and-coming DM is even more important than buying a striker like Benzema, and the Ghanaian could be exactly what we are looking for, and not only that but it would be great to get another one over on Jose Mourinho.

Kick him while he’s down!
