Park Chu-Young (AS Monaco)

According to BBC the lad is on his way to London for a medical with a view to signing for Arsenal. He was due for a medical with Lille the other day and did not bother to turn up.

Let's hope he gets lost and finds his way to Melwood.

Well he did leave Lille in the lurch...

Monaco striker Chu-Young set for Arsenal deal

Monaco striker Park Chu-Young will complete a move to Premier League side Arsenal this weekend.

The South Korea captain, who has made over 91 appearances for the French club, is on his way to London for a medical in the next 24 hours.

Park was a former target for Premier League rivals Fulham.

The 26-year-old had completed a medical to sign for French side Lille, but a call from Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has prompted him head to London.

Lille were surprised on Saturday at the disappearance of Park, who failed to show up for the second part of his medical having agreed terms to join the French champions.

Lille president Michel Seydoux said: "We haven't had a telephone call, nothing.

"From what we understand he could be at Arsenal," the Lille boss said.

Park had been due at the northern French side to continue with the traditional pre-signing medical which he had begun on Friday.

"Like Monaco, Lille are baffled," added Seydoux, adding: "Everything [about his move] had been agreed."

Park scored an own goal in a 4-1 defeat by Argentina at the 2010 World Cup. However, he redeemed himself in South Korea's next match against Nigeria by scoring a crucial free-kick in a 2-2 draw, allowing the Koreans to advance to the round of 16.

I suppose Arsenal and Tottenham are reading our transfer gossips to find players...

A development like this could damage the relations between Arsenal and Lille ... Interesting ...

very interesting, fueling my and many others burning desire to somehow land Hazard

Think this will be a good signing for the arse tho, especially once Van Persie gets injured to maintain status quo

Liverpool were to slow to sell Nog and buy Park Chu-Young. Kuyt old is getting old and Bellamy is 32 and they want him back wtf is going in the final third!

Arsenal to sign striker Chu Young Park

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

Arsenal Football Club can confirm they have agreed to sign striker Chu Young Park from AS Monaco.
 
The 26-year-old South Korea captain scored 25 times in 91 appearances for the French club during three seasons in Ligue 1.
 
The one-time Asian Young Footballer of the Year made his debut for the South Korea senior side at just 19, and played in both the 2006 and 2010 World Cups. He replaced the retired Ji Sung Park as captain of the national team earlier this year.
 
Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger said: “We are delighted to have signed Chu. He will add true quality to our attacking forces and will be a valuable addition to the squad.”

Chu Young Park said: "I am very honoured and I feel very happy to be at Arsenal. It is a dream to be here and I am really proud to be an Arsenal player. Now I just want to show how good I am and prove myself.

"In my opinion this is a great club, now I have to show what I can do on the pitch. I will do my best, I will never give up, I will show heart, I will give everything and I hope the fans will support me."
 
The deal is subject to the completion of formal registration processes.

Chu Young Park will wear the No 9 shirt at Arsenal. The striker prefers to be known as 'Ju' and will therefore have J. Y. Park as his shirt name.
