Wenger To Snatch Annan - Report
-
The Ghana international spent much of last week on trial at Ewood Park, with his current club IK Start, resigned to letting the highly-rated 22-year old leave the club.
Despite impressing during his stay in Lancashire, Rovers manager Paul Ince refused to conclude a deal while he continued his other transfer pursuits, prompting Annan to opt to leave the club and try to tempt other English clubs into signing him.
And Wenger, who has seen the likes of Mathieu Flamini, Alexsander Hleb and Gilberto Silva leave the Emirates Stadium this summer, has offered the player a trial at Arsenal with a view to a permanent deal.
Annan is likely to cost around £1.5 million, an amount that Wenger can more than finance with the remainder of his transfer budget.
