Last season Arsenal had scouts watching he 21 year old French under 21 international Gouffran who was awarded French Ligue 2 Player of the Season after a successful season with SM Caen which saw the club promoted to the Ligue 1.
Yoan was linked with the club last season many websites claiming we had agreed to sign him.
Eurosport has a big reputation as one of the most trusted football websites around.

mr exclusive pops up with the goods again lol keep da posts coming bruv, kool
Gouffran would be a quality signing.
80000 euros a week? You’re having a laugh. Sounds like utter bollocks to me-unless he actually signs for us Im not believing it. Plus, why would Wenger buy another winger/striker? He has Vela coming in, adding to RVP, Ade, Eduardo, Bendtner and Walcott.
Just Passing The Info On Mate.
Thought that Gouffran went to italy, didn’t he?
He was offered 80,000 euros a month (before tax) by PSG. and it says he has already signed a precontract agreement with us. Sounds pretty solid coming from europsort. who knows what will happen to walcott and bendtner….will gouffran be played right wing or up front? what happens to ade and rvp, maybe weng will play a 433. cesc flam hleb in mifdfiled with gouffran/walcott, ade/bendtner and rvp/eduardo up front.
I find that unlikely as weng likes 442 or 451 too much. however, we have a lot of strikers all of a sudden. who´s ade going to nut now?
Its 80000euros per month I do believe.
Source link fella ?
thanks for the great news.
the next thierry henry!!!
wooooooooooohooooooooo!!!!!!! I AM IN WONDERLAND!!!!
wait… there’s GOT to be something wrong, 80000 EUROS!!!
unless it’s per sesason then he’s the new coming pele!
Nick - don’t write off Rosicky so easily!! Remember the match against Brummies when nothing was created and then the match against Fulham. Rosicky takes defenders away with him creating space and he’s integral to our attack.
I might have believe this till the point of 80k salary that should put him in the same salaries as the senior players..which is highly unlikely for a youngster
yeah is nice for us to have nice and quality striker and we nead midfilder and defender as well cos all of them are working thier self if we can still sign in 2 quality midfilder and 2 quality defenfer add the it to our squad i know every body will fear us cos i still believe in the young players we are using they play very well more than the old players but what i think is that we can still get some adult players that thier age are aroung 23 to 26 couse i know they we be strong and teach them football also the is what i fink
I don’t think there is a need for arsenal to strengthen their squad now, all we need to do is to pray for van persie to come cal ar early as possible
We need cover on the wings for sure. So if Vela can play left, Gourfrann right, as well as up top then thats cool. Although I think we could do with a new CB as well now.
Gourcuff went to Milan, BTW.
Gourcuff went to Italy not Gouffran
Gouffran decided not to join his hometown club PSG, because of the turmoil they were in. Their star player Jerome Rothen had a disagreement with some fans who wanted him to support their motion of defiance to the board. In response they threaten him and his family. We are not talking about empty threat as they slashes his tires when at home.
He was offered 80,000€/month. I am pretty sure that Arsenal could pay that.
Despite being a striker, last year in ligue 2 he has predominently play as a left winger or a second striker. He does not have enough physical presence to play the lone striker in a 4-5-1, so Adebayor and Bentdner are safe.
I think that Arsene Wenger see him more for next year competiting with Carlos Vela for the left side of the play or to play the support striker when Van Persie is in one of his long injury lay-off.

So much better than Walcott. 80000 EUROS is about 40/50000
i bet u dis is aload of shit
Seeing as nothing new has come out of this I dont think its true, especially because there was the same rumour in the Summer. It had even been said we had signed him back then.
80000euros works out to about £60000 a month- or £15000 a week. Not massive wages bearing in mind he is not in fact a ‘youngster’ by our standards- 21 years old.
hmmm
On point!

I found this article to be very interesting and educational. Thank you for taking the time to write it.
I look forward to your next one. Thanks again.
59,198.30 GBP a month which is 10, 000 pounds a week yeah i can belivve that why not i hope so rosicky is one of my fave arsenal players but is to injury prone
ooops i cant add up roughly 15000 pounds even that aint much these days
Walcott is a bag of crap, Vela will take his position next season, but Rosicky , Hleb, Fabregas in Middle of p[ark–Creativity of highest level. Sell Theo!!! Gouffran has it all, pace, dribbling ability and he can finish!!!
Theo is a bag of shyte, but we will dismantle Manu U in the FA Cup!!!
[...] Young Guns reckon we have signed a winger for next year, at least he is old enough to buy a pint. [...]

I am very impressed with your site and now enjoy it more than any other. It is great to get news of our younger players and particularly of new signings who may become future first teamers. Any confirmation yet on the signing of Yoan Goufran?
Like many others I do hope that our manager will sign one or two more established players next seasonn but am always amazed at the changes of opinion as to who others feel we should sign. Earlier in the season it was Huntelaar and Modric but now they hardly get a mention!
I do hope you manage to keep your site free of those morons who seem unable to express themselves without using foul language. It is so much more pleasurable to read the views of intelligent people.
I have supported Arsenal for more than 60 years and feel that during the last ten years our current manager has produced the best teams I have ever watched. But please Arsene could we have just a little more strength in depth so that we can realise our full potential and win more silverware. It has been so frustrating over the past few years to see us play so brilliantly and then to throw everything down the drain by our failure to beat the lower placed teams (usually because of injuries but occasionally because our top players just do not seem sufficiently motivated to play at their best and score more goals when they have the opportunity). And I am still smarting over those humiliating losses to the two teams I hate most of all. Spurs (local rivalry) and Man U.(because of their manager).
This is another rubbish story.
