Salomon Kalou has announced his departure from Lille, and Arsenal is reportedly interested in signing the Ivorian international. According to the London Evening Standard, Arsène Wenger is considering making an offer to secure Kalou’s services this summer.
Kalou was close to joining Arsenal during the winter transfer window but opted to stay at Lille to finish the season. However, with his departure now confirmed, Arsenal may have another opportunity to sign him.
The report suggests that Wenger is keen to add Kalou to the team, with an offer of around €4 million potentially enough to convince Lille to sell. Kalou’s desire to prepare for the World Cup and potentially win the Coupe de France with Lille before departing has been noted.
While Arsenal may face competition for Kalou’s signature, their participation in the Champions League could be a significant factor in persuading him to join the club.
