Arsenal interested in Everton target Mbia (21.08.2008)
Everton`s attempts to sign Rennes` Cameroon international Stephane Mbia could potentially hit a snag with reports that Arsenal and Arsene Wenger are reportedly keen on the 22-year old midfielder.
However, Mbia is seemingly determined to secure a transfer to Goodison Park regardless of a top four club entering the hunt for his signature.
The player told French newspaper L`Equipe: "I have just been told that Arsenal are interested as well, but my position is clear - I want to start the season with Everton,"
Mbia went on to explain that there is very little chance of him remaining at his current club Rennes, who have nurtured him since his teenage years.
"What Rennes are currently offering me is far behind my demands. Both clubs have to find an agreement to help me leave.
"I`m aware that my directors have declared I won`t leave, but it`s just a means to make my price higher. I understand their position and I would do the same.
"It`s politics. Regarding what I`ve
heard, I know [general manager Pierre] Dreossi is ready to let me leave. From my part, I don`t want to play for Rennes anymore.
"Personally I don`t worry because English clubs have the resources to sign me. When they really want a player they are ready to spent whatever amount."
Everton, contrary to rumours, appear to have the finances to fund a deal, with reports indicating that they are prepared to offer Mbia £1.2m a season to take him north.
There is however no clear sign of any Arsenal bid for the player.
Everton`s attempts to bring Mbia to Merseyside follow conflicting rumours in the Portuguese press about Joao Moutinho, with the great hope being that both players could be unveiled as Everton players in the next week or so, thus creating a spark of light to envelope the Goodison gloom.
