Arsenal Transfer News: Arsenal Target N’Zogbia & United Hijack Gunners Deal?

Usually, there is lots of transfer news and rumors surrounding the Gunners. Today, though, it’s been surprisingly quiet, but there is still news, so without further ado…. here is the Arsenal Transfer News Roundup.

Arsenal interested in N’Zogbia

N’Zogbia…. interesting Arsenal yet again

Well, this isn’t really much of a surprise as the Gunners have long been linked with this player, so it was bound pop up again. Arsenal are one of the many teams, who are showing interest in Wigan Atheltic’s star winger, 25 year old Frenchman Charles N’Zogbia. Reports vary on his price from 10-15 million pounds. Transfermarkt.co.uk value him at around 8 million pounds, which is a fair value in my opinion. N’Zogbia is a good player with pace, skill, and a good crosser, so I believe that he’d do well with Arsenal, if Wenger does sign him. There are certainly better players in his position, but I believe he could be a smart, shrewed signing.

Here’s a well written blog post concerning the interest:

Manchester United interested in hijacking Arsenal’s bid for Ricardo Alvarez

This is certainly interesting news, as reports are claiming that Manchester United are going to have a go at bidding for Velez Sarsfield’s Alvarez. It looks like it’s so far pure speculation, but I won’t be surprised if it’s true as Manchester United have a history of getting in the way of potential Arsenal deals, with examples like Cristiano Ronaldo, Chris Smalling, Aaron Ramsey, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain etc. From what I’ve seen from him, Alvarez looks like he’s a talented and quality player, and if Manchester United are interested in him, then Wenger should seal this deal, just imagine if he could’ve acquired Cristiano Ronaldo and Chris Smalling?

Here’s a link to an article concerning this headline:

What do you think? Should Wenger go for N’Zogbia? Should he seal the deal for Alvarez? Please share your opinions and thoughts.
