Ex Gunner wants to return back

The Ivory Coast defender Guy Demel was at Arsenal briefly as a 20 year-old, but couldn’t settle in London and was very quickly allowed to move on to Germany, playing for ten years in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund and Hamburg.
But now, according to ESPN, he is now available on a free transfer and is desperate for a return to the Premiership before he retires.
He said yesterday: “I used to play at Arsenal but that was a long time ago and I am ready to go back. I am more experienced now and my desire is to return to England.”
“I have played six years at Hamburg and had a good time there but I feel the time is right for a new challenge,”
“Every player would like the opportunity to play in the Premier League where every weekend you play against top players and top teams and this is what I want. A lot of my Ivory Coast team-mates tell me how good it is play in the Premier League and it would be nice to play alongside them or against them.”
Demel is 6ft 2.5in and a regular Ivory Coast international and can play at right back or in midfield.

Arsenal to bid £13m for Bundesliga Star




According to reports Arsene Wenger is chasing  Bayer Leverkusen ace Arturo Vidal. He thinks that Vidal could fill the void left by either Fabregas or Nasri, who are both being linked with moves away from the Emirates this summer.
As ever, the 24-year-old captain is wanted by boyhood club Barcelona while Nasri, who is out of contract in a year, is wanted by Manchester United.
Vidal's star has risen rapidly since arriving at Leverkusen from Colo-Colo in 2007 but his club may need to sell him this summer or risk losing him for nothing this time next year when his contract expires.
AC Milan have already had a £9m bid rejected by the Bundesliga club, who are demanding at least £13m for the 24-year-old - just a third of what Arsenal will receive for selling Fabregas to Barca.
