Arsenal to offer £10M for Marseille ace Ribery

Arsenal are planning a £10 million bid for Olympique Marseille star winger Franck Ribery.

Ribery has turned down a move to French champions Lyon so he can link up with Les Bleus team-mate Thierry Henry.
Boss Arsene Wenger has been a fervent admirer of the playmaker since he first spotted him with France in a youth tournament more than three years ago.
And Ribery, 23, is a ready-made replacement for Robert Pires, who has quit Gunners for Spanish side Villarreal.
