Vincent Enyeama’s representative has claimed that the
Nigeria keeper was last week on the brink of joining
Arsenal.
Hapoel Tel Aviv's Enyeama recently caught the eye of Arsene
Wenger whilst playing for his country against France and is
subsequently reported to have attracted a bid from North
London.
The player’s representative, Tony Martich, seems to suggest the
fee in question eventually scuppered any potential move and
prompted Wenger to instead extend the contract of current second
choice keeper Lukasz Fabianski.
"Vincent was very close to sealing a move to Arsenal, he had
already agreed personal terms but Hapoel demanded €2 million - and
Arsenal pulled out," Martich told the Israeli press.
"Israeli clubs need to understand that the Ligat Ha'Al doesn't
mean much to the biggest clubs in the world."
Enyeama – who takes penalties for his club side – is nicknamed
‘The Cat’ and was picked out earlier in the season as a player to
watch by IMScouting.com.
