Arsenal set to sign Park Chu-young from Monaco

Monaco striker Park Chu-young is set to complete a move to Premier League side Arsenal on Sunday night, according to Arsene Wenger.

Park, 26, who was a former target for Premier League rivals Fulham, will cost the Gunners between £3m and £5m.

After the 8-2 defeat to Manchester United, Wenger said he expected Chu-young to sign on Sunday night.

The South Korea captain had been close to signing for French side Lille until Arsenal's late bid.

Lille were surprised at events on Saturday, claiming Park had failed to show up for the second part of his medical after agreeing terms to join the French champions.

Park had been due at the northern French side to continue with the pre-signing examination, which he had begun on Friday, Lille said.

"From what we understand he could be at Arsenal. Everything had been agreed." said Lille president Michel Seydoux. www.bbc.co.uk

Well not the real big name signing Arsenal fans will be hoping for, he has scored goals not an extreme ammount of goals which will be a worry and i can see been behind Van Persie if they stick with playing 1 up front with a 5 man midfield. Still i think there are other areas of the team that Wenger needs to work on more than the striking department, his whole backline needs work in my opinion, they have no depth and apart from Sagna and Vermaelen the other players arent good enough!
