Arsenal After Another French Youngster - Report
-
Chantome, 20, is a defensive midfielder and may act as a direct replacement for Mathieu Flamini, who is joining Milan when his contract runs out this summer.
The PSG youngster has managed to hold down a regular place in the France under-21 side and may well be looking to leave, after his side barely avoided relegation following a miserable league campaign.
They did, however, gain UEFA Cup qualification via League Cup glory, and got to the final of the French Cup, where they will face Lyon who, after winning their seventh successive league title already, will be eyeing their first ever domestic double.
Whether the youngster chooses to join Coquelin in London remains to be seen, as does whether Arsene Wenger - notoriously miserly in the transfer market - will pay the required fee to bring Marseille's Samir Nasri, 'the new Zidane', to the club. -
wenger is short-sighted. He only looks at france.

Ghanaian Prodigy 'Ready' For Arsenal Opportunity
The 16-year-old will undergo a two-week trial with the Gunners next month, having impressed Arsene Wenger and his scouts with his performances for Accra-based side Hearts of Oak.
And the midfielder is confident of making the grade in England, insisting he has no doubts about his ability to perform on the big stage.
“I am ready to play under coach Wenger and I will be happy to show the world what I can do,” Torric said.
“I like the style of play of Arsenal because of the silky skills and that is what I can add to the team.
“If I am given the chance I know I can play in the first team - I am not afraid. We play before big crowds and even though they call me a small boy I am not afraid of them.”
Price
Arsenal’s record of converting teenage talent into senior superstars will no doubt leave Torric’s representatives confident that the youngster will be given every opportunity to flourish in North London.
But his agent Prince Omar Ibrahim warned that the Gunners must be prepared to stump up the ₤1.5 million fee if they wish to snare one of Africa’s hottest prospects.
“We have received the documents from Arsenal inviting Torric for trials from June,” he said.
“We have taken the future development of the player into consideration and we all know that there is no coach better than Arsene Wenger who can do the work Torric.
“We must not forget that for a multi-talented young African player he needs an African environment to probably flourish. Arsenal offers that more than any other team with several African players at the club.
“But Arsenal must be ready to pay the price demanded by his club and also assure us that he will develop well. Torric is the next big thing to hit world football and you need to see his unbelievable qualities.
“At this age to be playing in Ghana’s midfield full of talented players should tell you a lot.”he's not looking at France this time around

16 year old youngster again. If Arsenal failed to win any trophy next season, are we going to blame it on inexperience again?And what if he decided to leave after a few years of training at Arsenal?

3 years straight without any trophy. I still can take it. But I hope Wenger can add in some experienced and high class players to make the squad more balanced. -
next year also no trophy for us most likely. i think wenger better play 1st team for fa and carling cup try to win them. dont talk cock say these 2 competitions are for youngsters to gain experience. in the end we win these two pussy cups better than nothing.

a club like arsenal should be winning the champions league and EPL. but since very difficult to win, win the FA cup and Carling cup better than nothing. at least we can say we win 2 trophies. the "double". so to win the FA and carling cup, we need to play our 1st team. then play the reserve team in the EPL and Champions league, since most likely wont win play the reserves better. then let them get raped left, right, front, back by milan, barca, real, man u, juventus. then they go back home to wenger cry like pussy like senderos. and they will know what its means to play against these world class superstars. i am being realistic stating a fact.
