Arsenal defensive target William Carvalho has told the press that he is desperate to play in the English Premier League.
The Gunners failed to sign him last summer after not meeting Sporting Lisbon’s asking price, but as we reported yesterday Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has had a look at what players are available and decided to go back to the Portuguese club with a renewed offer.
Speaking to Portuguese newspaper Record, Carvalho said: ‘My dream is to play in England. I know some clubs are interested but my agent Jorge is looking after it and I am relaxed.
‘Now my mission is to work in Sporting and they will be in charge of any transfer and my future. That is very important.’
With Arsenal through to the knockout stages of the Champions League it is vital Arsenal sorts out their defensive problems, and with the 22-year-old possible the best player available during the January window it would be very disappointing for Gooner’s if Wenger did not compromise with Sporting and get a deal done.
