Arsenal To Swoop For Robinho?
-
Robinho, 24, has long been linked with Arsene Wenger's side, but since rising to recent stardom at Real Madrid, any dreams of landing the forward have been dashed.
However, following an injury and subsequent dip in form, the charismatic showman found himself out of favour, with Arjen Robben taking his place in the side for a short stretch of games toward the end of the season.
This led many to speculate that he may leave the club this summer in a big-money move. Chelsea are said to be his primary suitors, as Roman Abramovich continues to search for players that will provide him flair football - a spectacle - one would struggle to surpass Robinho in that respect.
The player himself has rubbished reports of a move, as has club president Ramon Calderon, who himself has no qualms with stating his interest in any of the world's stars who tickle his fancy.
"He is not transferable," Calderon declared during Monday's title celebrations. "We are not going to sell Robinho."
Chelsea remain in the driving seat to land the player - should an unlikely transfer take place to begin with - as they have the financial means with which to make it happen. Arsenal boss Wenger has said on numerous occasions that he will be signing big players, not names, and quite whether he could afford Robinho if he has already ruled out a move for Valencia David Villa remains to be seen. -
Just came across this article at goal.com ... He's gonna cost 30 million pounds and that's already exceeded our transfer budget ...
