As usual Arsene Wenger is preparing to surprise everyone in the transfer market by lining up a relatively unknown defender playing in France. Cheikh M’Bengue is the first-choice left-back at Toulouse in Ligue 1 and came through the ranks at the Southern French team after joining them when he was just seven years of age.
He has always been rated highly in France and after making 21 appearances for the French U21 side, he opted to play for his parents country Senegal as a full international and made his debut last year.
M’Bengue made it quite clear that Arsenal were talking to Toulouse and admitted that it cames as a surprise to him. He said: “I do not expect it.
“When a big club like that think of you, it’s nice. It’s really flattering. In addition to the Premier League is a championship where I want to evolve,”
“I had not planned to leave, I have two year contract. But Arsenal, it can not be refused if everyone is benefiting.”
The 24 year-old is big and strong and would be a welcome addition to the Arsenal squad, but if he does arrive will he supplant Gibbs and Santos in the starting line-up?
