Arsenal join race to sign Salomon Kalou
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has made a surprise bid to sign Lille forward Salomon Kalou. Both West Brom and West Ham thought they had secured the Ivorian's signature earlier in the summer, only for the forward to turn down a move back to England.
The former Chelsea man is supposedly keen to move to the Premier League but is only willing to return if he earns more than his reported 80,000 Euros per week salary. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is desperate to bring in another forward and has decided Kalou would be a perfect addition to his squad having missed out on Liverpool forward Luis Suarez.
Since joining Lille from Chelsea, the striker has scored 14 goals in 28 games. Kalou has a release clause of around 4.7 million Euros in his contract.
