Bassong in new Gunners' hint

WANTAWAY ... Sebastien Bassong
WANTAWAY Newcastle defender Sebastien Bassong has issued a 'come and get me' plea to Arsenal.
The Frenchman has made it clear he has no interest in staying at St James' Park following Toon's relegation from the Premier League last season.
But despite attracting interest from several European clubs, Bassong admits his preference is to continue his career in England.
When asked if the Gunners had made an inquiry about him, he said: "I confirm that. There has been an approach.
"But for the moment, there is nothing concrete.
"Foreign teams have also made inquiries but as my priority is to stay in England, I haven't followed them through.
"Clearly it would be better if everything went quicker but I am not worried."
Bassong, 23, who only joined Newcastle from Metz last summer, claims a transfer away from the Magpies could be problematic due to the uncertainty around the future ownership of the club.
He added: "Some Premier League clubs are interested in me but not everything is simple given that Newcastle are in the process of being bought out and the name of the future manager is still not known."
