Eboue's agent isn't ruling out an Italian job.


The agent of Emmanuel Eboue has declared that the Arsenal player would be tempted by a move to one of Italy’s biggest clubs, but signing a new contract at Emirates Stadium also appears a distinct possibility.

Eboue’s future is in some doubt after a disappointing season for the Ivory Coast international in which he was targeted for abuse by some sections of the club’s support.

The 26-year-old muddied the water further on Tuesday when announcing that he may consider leaving if he is not promised regular football by Arsene Wenger, but only to a club outside England and not one of Arsenal’s Premier League rivals.

Now the versatile player’s agent has encouraged interest from Inter, Milan and Juventus, even if he is open to Arsenal securing Eboue's future on a long-term basis.

"Arsenal offered us a contract extension, proposing to us a four-year deal," Franjo Vranjkovic told Calciomercato.it.

"Emmanuel could free himself soon as at zero cost, but Wenger's offer is very good.

"The player likes the way Arsenal plays.

"I honestly think that Fiorentina and Roma aren't at Eboue's level. The two clubs are not among the top ones in Italy, that's the reality of it. But if any of the Milan clubs or Juventus come after him, that could change things.

"Inter have never contacted us but if they should call us we would be in Italy without any problems. But no one has called me.

"I repeat that the player has a great relationship with Wenger, he's one of his fans.

"There's no problems with the fans either. It's normal that people create great stories about great players but there is absolutely no friction with the Gunners supporters."

Eboue's future as a Gunner unsettled

The season is over and the transfer windows all over the world are squeaking open. In England and Arsenal in particular, fans expect lots of going in and buzzing off.

Emmanuel Eboue has been unsure of his place in the team and has speaken about his future:

"My future at Arsenal is not clear yet, I did not play a lot in the season and the World Cup is coming.

"There are many clubs interested in me, so let's wait.

"Before the season's start I will make a decision."


The Arsenal blog Arseblog doesn't doubt there are many clubs interested in the Ivorian but thinks the final few months of the season are a good indication that his future lies elsewhere.

He was a barely used substitute for much of it, as clear a sign as any that Arsene Wenger didn't really count on him. There are those who think he's a handy utility player but he's been one of the most frustrating players seen in an Arsenal shirt and many won't be shedding any tears if he leaves.

Arseblog says they might even have a party! Gross...
