Henry to help Arsenal win Ribery race
|
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is set to win the race for Olympique Marseille winger Franck Ribery.
The Sun says Wenger intends to use part of the £20 million raised from Ashley Cole's sale to Chelsea this week to land the France international.
Ribery joined Marseille only last summer after walking out on Turkish giants Galatasaray following a contract wrangle.
Manchester United and Lyon were also hoping to sign him. But Thierry Henry has helped persuade his French team-mate to plump for the Gunners.
Ribery's arrival will be a major coup for Wenger as he tries to build his squad for their first season at the Emirates Stadium.
Marseille dropped Ribery from their squad for yesterday's 0-0 draw with Sedan, indicating he will soon be on his way.
