Arsenal target open to move to England

Arsenal target Alberto Aquilani has today admitted a move to England would excite him. The AS Roma midfielder is set for showdown talks with the club about his future in the coming days.



The Italian international is likely to figure in Italy's Euro 2008 squad so a deal may have to wait a while to be done unless Arsenal can push through a deal before the competition starts in two weeks. The 23-year old is likely to cost Arsenal at least £15 million.

Arsene Wenger apparently sees Aquilani as a perfect replacement for the the exit bound Alexander Hleb. I personally think Aquilani would be a terrific addition to an Arsenal squad that definitely needs improving to challenge for the title next year. Aquilani is a terrific passer of the ball and he could provide terrific ammunition for Emmanuel Adebayor.
