Samba star: Rovers' defender (left) is a target for
Arsene Wenger
Arsenal
have kicked off their summer
shake-up plans with an £8million bid
for Blackburn defender Chris Samba.
Boss Arsene Wenger has put a dominant centre half at the top of
his shopping list after another disappointing season without a
trophy.
Samba, 27, revealed this month that he came close to leaving
Ewood Park in the January transfer window.
‘Everybody knows that I am an ambitious player. I think a move
to Arsenal was very close in January but that is life.’
