Arsenal complete Squillaci deal

Arsenal have completed the signing of French defender Sebastien Squillaci from Sevilla. Gunners manager Arsene Wenger confirmed on Thursday lunchtime that the deal for the 30-year-old centre-back had been sealed after the Spanish club accepted an offer last week. Squillaci will not play in Saturday's Barclays Premier League game at Blackburn but will be eligible for the Champions League campaign.

The former Lyon centre-half, who joined Sevilla from Les Gones two years ago, asked to be left out of the side for the Champions League play-off against Braga last week so he would not be cup-tied for European competition. Squillaci will strengthen an Arsenal rearguard weakened by the departures of William Gallas, Mikael Silvestre, Sol Campbell and Philippe Senderos.

Wenger confirmed: "We needed a centre-back of quality and experience if possible, and at the right price - he was all of that. "He is a real defender and is good in the one against one, good in the air, and can score goals on set-pieces as well. "I believe he will be suited to the English game."

Spahic claims Gunners interest

Bosnian international Emir Spahic claims he could be heading to Arsenal as Arsene Wenger steps up his attempts to sign at least one new defender before the start of the season in ten days' time.

The 31-year-old Montpellier defender would welcome the opportunity to play in the Premier League after being a regular starter in the French League last term.

Wenger has lost experienced trio Sol Campbell, William Gallas and Mikael Silvestre this summer while signing only Laurent Koscielny from Lorient and is aware he needs to bolster his defensive options.

Spahic told Sportssport.ba: "The most important thing is that so far the negotiations have gone as planned and that the transfer could be completed soon.

"Arsenal is a great club, I'm an admirer of Arsene Wenger and I hope that Montpellier will co-operate."

Spahic played for NK Zagreb, Shinnik Yaroslavol, Torpedo Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow before joining Montpellier last summer. Now you can buy Arsenal Tickets for Premier League 2010-2011.
