Transfer Rumours - Achille Emana

Arsenal have again been linked to Toulouse forward Achille Emana. The 25 year old attacking midfielder had an excellent season with Toulouse and would be a good complement to the set of forwards at the Emirates.

Lyon are also thought to be interested along with Werder Bremen.

The player has long been under the watchful eye of the Arsenal scouting department including a visit from Tony Adams a couple of years ago.

A confident sort, Emana could line up with the also poorly monikered Dudu in the Arsenal attack. Talking about his future he confided that "I can’t yet say I’m among the top players in the world. My aim is to be able to cross the ball like David Beckham, to have the power of Ronaldo, to possess the same finesse as Zinedine Zidane, and to have the dribbling skills of Ronaldinho.”

It is thought that Emana would cost between £4.5 and £8m.
