Arsenal have joined the list of admirers of Ghanaian
midfielder Anthony Annan following his recent trial with
Blackburn.
The 22-year-old – currently playing for Norwegian side Stabaek
on loan from IK Start – has been attracting interest from across
Europe, with French and Spanish clubs as well as Italian side Milan
being mentioned as potential suitors.
Now IK Start sport and media director Svein Mathisen has
revealed that The Gunners have invited the promising star to North
London to see if he suits their ideals.
“He is invited to Arsenal for training as well,” Mathisen was
quoted as saying by VG Nett.”This is, however, poor timing as he
has a game for Stabaek on Sunday.”
It now remains to be seen whether Rovers will make an offer for
the player, or if indeed he will travel to Emirates Stadium. Either
way, Mathisen says his club have not received any firm offers for
Annan yet.
“No, we have not had any bids yet,” said Mathisen. “Currently,
it is only agents who have enquired about prices.
“We are demanding nothing though.
“We are awaiting bids and will of course get as high a price as
we can.”
