Gunners scouts have watched Cornelius over ’10 times’
Posted in Arsenal News | Written by Chris Wheatley
Arsenal are ready to step-up their interest in FC Copenhagen youngster Andreas Cornelius, according to reports in Denmark
The Gunners’ have sent Scandinavia-based scout Bobby Bennett to watch the Danish striker in action ‘over 10 times’.
Highly-rated Cornelius, who has scored 14 goals in 20 matches for Copenhagen this season, has revealed his delight at being scouted by a club as big as Arsenal.
“This is obviously a pat on the back for me knowing that such a big club is watching me. And if they’ve seen me so many times, it shows you it is not just a coincidence”, Cornelius said.
“I do not think about it, because I have a long contract at FC Copenhagen and have developed really well there. As long as there is nothing concrete, then I think only about FC Copenhagen.”
6ft 4in frontman Cornelius has been rather worryingly dubbed the ‘next Nicklas Bendtner’ due to his excellent technique and astute aerial ability.
The 19-year-old is tied to FCK until 2016 and this week it was revealed Manchester United had a bid of €5 million turned down for him last year.
No thanks.
Wouldn't surprise me at all to see us paying big for 'the next best thing' - Wenger hungers for the adulation of being known as the magician in producing world class players. Means more to him than winning a trophy these days.
Rosicky can go.. his wages are huge and compare that to his contribution, he is one of the biggest flops in Arsenal history.
Rosicky needs to be played more. He was one of the best in Europe in that brilliant Czech team with Nedved and co and was a real coup for us to get him. That 07/08 season he was our best player. Ade scuffed the goals in, Cesc and Flamini got the plaudits in midfield but Rosicky made us tick. No coincidence that our season fell apart when he got injured.
He can still produce and give us a lift when needed, eg last season in the Spurs derby

If this happens, Wenger will be forgiven for being so shitQuote:
Fiorentina forward Jovetic flattered by Arsenal links
The 23-year-old forward insists Arsene Wenger's side are still "one of the biggest in Europe" - even after Robin van Persie's departure
Fiorentina forward Stevan Jovetic admits he is flattered by reports linking him with Arsenal and claims Arsene Wenger's side still remain "one of the biggest in Europe".
The 23-year-old, who will be in action for Montenegro against England on Tuesday evening, has netted 12 goals in 24 Serie A appearances this season.
Goal.com revealed earlier in March that Manchester City are currently in pole position to sign Jovetic having negotiated a first option on the forward, while Arsenal have also been reported as rival bidders.
“I’ve heard about Arsenal’s interest," Jovetic told The Sun. "It’s a big pleasure for me to be on the radar of such a big club. I am happy about that.
“I’ve always had an affinity with Arsenal. It’s a major club with a big tradition, one of the biggest in Europe."
“It’s not easy to replace Van Persie, who scored a lot of goals. Arsenal have plenty of players who don’t score like Van Persie, but are also very good."
Jovetic concedes he would be open to a move to the Premier League but admits his current focus remains with Fiorentina's Champions League push.
“They are still very strong. I often watch Premier League games on TV," he said.
"It’s one of the best leagues in the world and looks tempting for me.
“Maybe one day I will play there but I have a contract with Fiorentina and battling for a Champions League place in Serie A is the only thing I’m thinking about now.”
"i've always had an affinity with Arsenal" :lol:
oh stfu you knob. i'm sure you'll have close ties with anyone that signs you. just shut up, get the money, score goals and get on with in.
This.
The other one with bells on it, shall not be pulled anymore.
Diego Costa. . .apart from looling like one of lead singers out of Shalamar, any good?

Arsenal are set to go head-to-head with Manchester City for Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic.
The 23-year-old, who will be in action against England on Tuesday evening, has scored 12 goals in 24 appearances in Serie A this season.
talkSPORT have been told Fiorentina are resigned to losing the Montenegro hitman this summer and the Gunners are prepared to match the Italian side’s £28million valuation.
The Arsenal hierarchy are set to loosen the purse strings and back boss Arsene Wenger in the transfer market this summer in a bid to end their eight-year trophy drought.
Jovetic currently earns £65,000 per week and Arsenal are willing to offer up to £90,000 per week to tempt him to north London.
Manchester City, however, are also keen as Roberto Mancini looks to reshape his strike force next season and could rival Wenger's men for the Montenegrin.

Easily the biggest must get we won't get.
Will be good bit of business which ever way for both clubs, tbh. Really hope our name will be in the mix one day with these high profile player moves.
When Pep was at Barca it was NAILED ON that Suarez would go there as his agent was Pep's brother.
He's going to go to whoever offers him the most money, since the offers will likely be the same type of teams (fighting for the CL and title), and which country he likes the look of.
I just hope we don't accept £30-odd million because it'd be a decent profit. Squeeze every last drop out of them...

Toni: 'Jovetic, Arsenal not a top club'
By Football Italia staff
Luca Toni has advised Stevan Jovetic to ignore Arsenal’s calls, for “they are not better than Fiorentina. If he has to leave, make it for a real top club.”
The World Cup winning striker is well-travelled, securing titles with Bayern Munich, and nearing the end of his career.
Viola teammate Jovetic admitted today he is tempted by proposals from the Gunners, but Toni warns it would not be a step up.
“I tell him to think carefully before leaving Florence, as there is an important project here,” Toni told ANSA news agency.
“If he has to leave, then make it for a real top club. Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United fit that bill, but Arsenal are not better than Fiorentina.
“We’ll talk about my own contract renewal over the next few weeks. There are no problems for me or the club and I think we’ll resolve the issue within a month.”
