Reports from North London claim that Lille’s Gervinho has agreed personal terms with Arsenal all that is pending is a paper to pen approval for a four-year contract. £10.6million is said to be the price that paved way for the deal to be completed.
Gervinho’s peformance last season caught the eyes of top European clubs. He was pivotal in Lille’s Double winning season, scoring 18 goals and making 10 assists. Arsenal move was imminent from the very moment when the French club rejected the bid from PSG a week ago. Gervinho himself had declared that he wanted a move to England.
The arrival of Gervinho confirms the exit of Arsenal’s Nicklas Bendtner , who has admitted publicly that he wants to quit Arsenal for first-team action. This should be a very big signing as Wenger can use Gervinho both as striker and a wing-forward, something which Bendtner was not comfortable with. He will be a readymade piece on Wenger’s 4-2-3-1 formation.
