Exclusive: Arsenal Enquire About Kalou, Huntelaar thumbnail

With the arrival of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, the first team chances of  Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar seems to have dimmed further. He has been linked to the likes AC Milan, Marseille and even Tottenham. Now Arsenal have also made enquiries about the 25-year-old, with sources close to the club suggesting that Wenger would be willing to pay £10 million, which in turn would be funded by Emmanuel Adebayor’s sale to AC Milan for close to £17 million.   Another player who Arsenal are interested in is Chelsea’s Salomon Kalou. Last season Wenger asked then Chelsea coach Luiz Felipe Scolari about Kalou’s availability.  However, Scolari refused to let Arsenal talk to the player, a fact admitted by Wenger in kaloua press conference in February. When asked to comment on Wenger’s interest in him, Kalou had said, “Arsene Wenger said he thought of signing me? That’s an honour for me, an honour.  Because he is a very great coach and I know that every single player in the world dreams of playing for Arsene Wenger. I have a lot of respect for him, he is one of the best coaches in the world, so why not.”  It is understood that Kalou doesn’t feature in new coach Carlo Ancelotti’s plans and Chelsea are willing to listen to offers for the Ivory Coast international.  The 23-year-old would cost Arsenal close to £9 million.
