Arsenal target leaves door open but do we really want Corchia?

Although a transfer window for the summer has only just shut, people are already getting ready for the time that it opens up again in January and generally it seems Arsenal fans are expecting big things from the club with expectations now high following the arrival of Mesut Ozil. The likes of Luis Suarez and Angel Di Maria have already been mentioned as transfer targets for the Gunners this winter, with Wenger supposedly keen on returning to the players he just missed out on in the summer, however the name being linked today with several independent news outlets including the Daily Express is a name of less excitement . Sebastian Corchia was linked with Arsenal over the course of the summer however the rumours didn’t stick around for long, suggesting that perhaps the transfer was nothing but gossip however there does seem to be some definite interest from Arsenal, especially after the player commented in an interview with L’Equipe that he doesn’t know where his future may lie. Corchia said: “It has been a hectic transfer window but I was still focused on my preparation. I continued in the same mind-set as last season. I do not want it to distract me. Instead, I went back to work immediately. It happened, we cannot go back. I know what I have to do now during matches and we will see what happens in the next transfer window. But at the moment I’m of the view that I want to work with my club.” Corchia is a defender who predominately plays right back and although he isn’t the biggest name on the books right now, I still think Wenger may be interested in the French youngster. Corchia has bags of talent and has also been lined up by several other European clubs over the course of the summer; however all seemed to fail in their attempt to sign him, which once again opens up the door for Arsenal. The only concern I have is that by signing him, it could mean it is the end of the road for either Carl Jenkinson or Hector Bellerin!
