With Arsenal expected to complete the £12 million signing of
Marseille youngster Samir Nasri within days, manager Arsene Wenger
has already turned to his next summer target.
A report in the News of the World claims that Hamburg midfielder
Piotr Trochowski is the Frenchman’s next target as he looks to
bolster his midfield following the departure of Mathieu Flamini to
Milan.
24 year old Trochowski is part of the German squad that is
preparing for the upcoming European Championships and despite
strong competition for places is tipped to feature for Joachim
Löw’s side during the tournament.
He has been a consistent performer for HSV Hamburg over the past
few seasons having joined them from Bayern Munich. He has
been capped 12 times by Germany.
It is understood that Wenger is lining up a £5 million bid for
the player, which is not dependent on him playing for Germany
during the Euro finals.
