Makoun, replacement for AC Milan-bound Mathieu Flamini?
ARSENE WENGER has already targeted a replacement for AC Milan-bound Mathieu Flamini. The Arsenal boss wants Lille midfielder Jean II Makoun to replace the outgoing Frenchman.
According to Makoun's agent Jean-Christophe Thouvenel, the Gunners are keen to bring the Cameroon international to North London after a string of impressive displays in Ligue 1 this season.
Thouvenel said: "Makoun is on Arsenal's shortlist if Flamini leaves. "It is planned that he leaves Lille when the season ends and moving to England is part of his objective. "I can tell you for sure that Jean II is appreciated by Arsene Wenger. "But the transfer period has not started yet so I will not lie — negotiations are yet to start.
"He is short and not a monster but his involvement on the pitch is huge and he is a fighter. "He is not the only one on Arsenal's list."
Flamini, 24, was pictured having dinner in Milan last night and is reported to be having a medical at the San Siro today before signing a four-year deal with the Italian giants. But Thouvenel warned the Gunners would have to move quickly to secure Makoun's services if they want him to fill the void. He added: "Tottenham are also interested and I believe that (sporting director) Damien Comolli is an admirer of Jean II."

The last few sentences are so hilarious.
Why should Arsenal move quickly to secure his service if Tottenham are also interested?
If Arsenal declare a interest, which player in his sane mind will choose Tottenham? Unless he is a moron.
