It is not official yet but Sébastien Squillaci’s signing is imminent as he is set to become Arsene Wenger’s third signing of the summer transfer window.

In the meantime, we keep on getting news for the goalkeeping department with Mirror Football insisting that the primary target of the Gunners is still Fulham’s Mark Schwarzer. According to manager Mark Hughes Arsenal made an offer which however was no different than the one made in May and unless they increase it the 37-year old will not move.

And for the future, St. Etienne striker Emmanuel Riviere would be delighted to join Arsenal as he hopes to be the new Thierry Henry. The 20-year is quoted as saying how Arsenal would really be the jewel in the crown for his career, a team which plays a fast-moving, attacking style of football, always shooting on goal. He added how much he respects Thierry Henry, a player who inspired him.

And finally, yesterday’s results to conclude with. Almost 2,000 votes and both players getting high votes with Juan getting 644 and Maarten Stekelenburg an impressive 991.
