da cassino: Arsenal and Liverpool look set to fight it out for the £10 million signature of Ivory Coast striker Gervinho.
da realbet: The 23-year old has scored 14 goals in all competitions this season as Lille went on to win the Ligue 1 Title. Having first come to attention following a strong performance in last year’s World Cup, several of the Premier League’s top clubs are reported to be tracking the player.
Gervinho moved to Lille from Ligue 1 rivals Le Mans for a reported €8 two summers ago and has gone on to score 28 goals for the club in 63 appearances and has just over a year left on his contract.
Newcastle were the first club reported to move for the player earlier in the year but the forward was apparently more keen on an offer of Champions League football.
North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur are also in the hunt for the player but Arsenal are reported to be in pole position to acquire the player’s signature.
