Auxerre defender Bakari Sagna is hoping that his club do not deny him a dream move to Arsenal.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is reportedly still tracking the full-back, but the French club have said that the odds of a transfer are not high.
"I don't know how I will react," said Sagna of the prospect of Auxerre prevented a move.
"I always worked my hardest to receive such offers. Now that I have these opportunities, I especially do not want to miss them.
"The foreign experience does not frighten me. I am ready to make the great jump."
Sagna also revealed that he has spoken to his France international team-mate Abou Diaby about the Gunners.
"It is a club I like enormously. I had the chance to discuss it with Abou Diaby at a gathering of the French squad," he added.
"He said to me that he liked it a lot and that, if I came, it would enable me to become better.
"For me, it would be a really exciting challenge. Arsenal has a promising team, which plays good football.
"It is not for nothing that they are one of the best English and European clubs."
