Gervinho talks up Arsenal move

Gervinho has announced that only Arsenal would be his preferred destination. The Ivorian has been persistently linked with a 14m GBP move for the player.

Gervinho said: "I chose Arsenal because it's a young group within which I will be able to integrate easily. I could develop more over there. There's only a few details left to sort out.

"A risk? Not at all. I'm going to Arsenal to play. The best risk to take is to look to score goals and to play a lot.

"In football you have to take risks if you want to win. I'm going to Arsenal to win."
