Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Yohan Cabaye has revealed that he was keen on working under Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, and has regrets that a move to The Gunners didn’t materialise last Summer.
The former-Newcastle United man was subject to a £10million bid from Arsenal before this season, but The Magpies laughed off the offer as they wanted close to £20million for the Frenchman, and in January, that is roughly what they got for the midfield-man.
However, it wasn’t Arsenal that secured his signing, it was French side PSG, but in a recent interview, Cabaye has admitted that he desperately wanted to move to the Emirates Stadium so that he could work with Wenger.
“I would have liked to play for Wenger last summer but, unfortunately, it didn’t happen,”, the Frenchman said, before complimenting his current club, PSG.
“PSG is prepared to win everything,” he added. “The players share a mentality making them wanting to go as far as possible.
“If we have the possibility to snatch the Champions League, we will do it. [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic is doing extraordinary things and Thiago [Silva] is a monster at the back. It’s a new challenge. I want to last here and to win. It is my destiny.”
