Lille striker Salomon Kalou has sensationally revealed that he very nearly joined Arsenal in the January transfer window. The Ivory Coast international had been in talks with the Gunners regarding a loan deal to the Emirates in January.
Salomon Kalou has been in inspired form since making a move from Chelsea to Lille, and the French club currently sit in third place in the league table.
Kalou told L'Equipe: "A loan deal could have been done at the last minute.
"However, I want to finish third [in Ligue 1], prepare for the World Cup and go to the Stade de France to compete in the Coupe de France final."
Arsenal have been linked with a second move for the striker in the summer transfer window and have been linked with a 5 million Euro bid for the player.
