A striker who believes we are interested in signing him and a former Gunner are today’s players linked with a possible move to Arsenal.

According to the Goal.com, Wigan’s Hugo Rodallega is a target for Arsenal this summer. The 25-year old is quoted as saying that Villarreal and Sevilla in Spain as well as Arsenal and Everton in England are all interested in signing him and as always, when a player with Premier League experience is linked, interest is high from the fans.

In other news, Italian website Italia H 24 (in Italian), believes that unsettled Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra is a target for Arsenal and Juventus. According to the article, the Frenchman would prefer a return in the Premier League but Juventus’ Beppe Marotta is already negotiating to bring the player to the Serie A.

And before moving on to today’s poll, a look at yesterday’s results in which we collected more than 1,500 votes. Manchester City’s Micah Richards is according to our readers one who would be welcome at the Emirates with Joey Barton, as predicted, getting more negative votes than positive ones.

As always, please let us know your preference on today’s linked players and don’t be shy to join the discussion in our newly-launched Arsenal forum.
