Ribery wants Arsenal
|
Olympique Marseille wing ace Franck Ribery is aiming to join Arsenal.
His agent, Bruno Heiderscheid, has revealed Marseille's France midfielder would jump at the chance.
Heiderscheid told the News of the World: "Arsene Wenger likes the player a lot.
"He wanted to take him this summer but Marseille refused to sell. Arsene has made it clear he wants to take him next year. Franck would very much like to join Arsenal because of Arsene, the style of football they play and also because his very close friend from the France team, Thierry Henry, plays for them."
But Heiderscheid added: "I can categorically deny there is any agreement with Arsenal at this stage or even negotiations.
"These would have to take place in January at the earliest as we see how the season progresses with Marseille and Franck wants to concentrate on his current club.
"Franck is now a very big player in Europe and it's true the biggest clubs want him badly."
