Ghanaian International Stephen Appiah has reportedly been offered to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger as an emergency midfielder, according to The Mirror.
27-year-old Appiah is a free agent after having his deal at Turkish side Fenerbahce annulled earlier this summer. The Ghanaian known as the ‘Tornado’ for his combative style of play was believed to have favoured a move back to Serie A with his former club Juventus. Along with the Gunners Premier League rivals West Ham United, who Appiah is understood to have held talks with.
Wenger, who is keen to bolster his young midfield at the Emirates Stadium, having failed with a late £14million offer for Liverpool’s Xabi Alonso, was linked with a move for Appiah last summer, with the midfielder claiming to be ‘50%’ an Arsenal player before deciding to stay with Fenerbahce.
However, despite holding talks with the Hammers about a move to Upton Park, it is uncertain if Appiah is still in demand at the East London side following the resignation of boss Alan Curbishley earlier this week.
Which leaves North London as the likely destination for Appiah. If Wenger should decide to take a gamble on a player, who is still on his way back from a long-term injury.
