The agent of Park Chu Young, Maurizio Morana, has revealed that Park Chu Young found it almost impossible to turn down Arsenal, despite almost completing a move to Ligue 1 champions Lille.
Arsenal are expected to announce the signing of the South Korean international forward tomorrow, pending the successful application of a work permit.
The agent of the player revealed: "We could not imagine what happened. On Friday, Arsenal contacted Monaco to know if an agreement had been found with Lille about a transfer.
"As it was not the case, Arsenal started to negotiate, then asked to contact the player.
"Could you imagine how a player from Monaco could refuse such a club?
"As he should come back to his native Korea later in 2013 for military duties, this could be his last contract in Europe.
"When Arsene Wenger directly calls a player and asks him to join Arsenal, it is difficult to refuse."
