Moussa Sow eyes Arsenal switch
STAR ... Moussa Sow

LILLE striker Moussa Sow has issued a 'come-and-get-me' plea to Arsenal.

The Gunners scouted the Senegal international while checking on Eden Hazard and Gervinho last season.

Arsene Wenger splashed £10.7million on Gervinho in the summer but failed to follow up his interest in Hazard or Sow.

But with Marouane Chamakh and Chu-Young Park failing to provide adequate backup for Robin van Persie, Sow has revealed he is ready to move to the Emirates Stadium at the end of this campaign.

The 25-year-old told French radio station RMC Sports: "I have a contract signed until June 2013 and Lille want me to sign another one but the negotiations have stopped.

"I don't accept the conditions or the silence from the club. That's not me putting on pressure, just the truth.

"I'm only thinking about football and it's not possible to leave in January.

"But my dream is to play in the Premier League because you progress as a player with the atmosphere, goals and game.

"I watch the games with envy on TV. I desire to play there one day. Arsenal are a big club but we will see."

Sow has scored 29 goals in 48 league games for Lille since joining from Rennes 18 months ago.
