Arsenal to swoop for Dacourt?…

Despite Arsene’s denials, The Mirror claim that Arsenal could today unveil french midfielder Olivier Dacourt.
Although Roma are currently held back by a transfer embargo, the frenchman could be allowed to leave on a free.
It’s probably just another rumour, but he would add experience and depth to our midfield in the absence of Vieira. He’s scored some brilliant goals in his time, too, and has that aggressive streak that some fear we lack.
Another potential signing, Alex Song, could reportedly be involved in a part-exhange deal including Seb Larsson. I find this very hard to believe. Larsson was recently rewarded with a long-term contract, and is very highly-rated by the management. He’s one of the youngsters who stands to profit most from Vieira’s departure.
And finally, something I’d previously failed to mention: Freddie Ljungberg is close to penning a new contract. Good news.
Ajax tomorrow. Hurrah.
