Arsene Wenger said that he thought that the CSKA Moscow and Japan star Keisuke Honda was the star of the World Cup. He said: “This Japansese team is based on a solid and collective defence in which everybody knows exactly what to do,”
“When they get the ball they can give it to Honda – and the magic starts.
“When they get that genius Honda playing up front, he has shown what a top class player he is. For me he’s the best performer of the competition so far.”
Well now it is being reported that both Arsenal and Liverpool have been making enquiries about bringing him to the Premier League, and Sport.co.uk contacted his agent, Kees Ploegsma, to find out whether they were true.
He said: “A few clubs have contacted me about the situation and asked me questions about Keisuke but no club has made a serious offer for him. No one has contacted the club to make a formal offer.”
When asked if Liverpool and Arsenal were interested, Ploegsma said: “Liverpool have not been in contact regarding him.”
As he was obviouly avoiding the Arsenal question, Sport then asked again if Arsenal were considering a bid, and he replied: “I don’t know yet. There are several clubs interested but so far nothing has happened regarding a formal offer.
“I don’t know if CSKA Moscow will let him leave, or what sort of money they will be asking. Discussions will take place when a club makes a formal offer for the player.”
This situation reminds me of Wenger’s pursuit of Andrei Arshavin after the European Championships two years ago. Perhaps he will get his man again?
