Newcastle defender Sebastien Bassong has cast
doubt on his Magpies future by admiting he would welcome a summer
move to Arsenal.
The French stopper has been one of the few bright spots in
another miserable season for the St James' Park side.
Bassong, who arrived from Lens in a £1.5million summer deal, has
impressed with a number of solid displays for the struggling
Magpies.
Gunners manager Arsene Wenger is reported to have been
monitoring the progress of the 22-year-old as he weighs up
bolstering his squad at the end of the season.
Bassong has confirmed he is aware that Arsenal are considering
his services and claims he would welcome a move to Emirates
Stadium.
He said: "My agent told me about Arsenal's interest and it would
be a lie if I said they are not a club I'm interested in."
