Monday deadline for Mputu move

The agent of DR Congo international Tresor Mputu has claimed a deal with Arsenal could be done as early as next week.

Mputu’s agent Bajo Bujani revealed that Arsenal have tabled a concrete offer to the striker’s club side TP Mazembe after Arsene Wenger was impressed by the player during a trial spell in London last month.

Bujani revealed Sevilla are also in the running for the 21-year-old’s signature but that Arsenal are in pole position.

“While Sevilla have also shown great interest, I believe Tresor will end up in England,” Bujani told Kick Off.

“Arsenal have given TP Mazembe until Monday to respond to their offer and I’m convinced that a deal will be completed after the weekend.”

Jonathan Ngolo - 10 December 2007 01:44: i think tresor will be one of the best player in europe in few years time..; Report this to a moderator

ali - 07 December 2007 18:26: when ever wenger buys a player aged 20 above, that player most be ready for the first team. so i think Mputu should be grab this and be prepared for action and not a bench warmer.; Report this to a moderator

jerome - 06 December 2007 05:38: Wenger (and his coaching staff) must have evaluated the player's abilities and understood the qualities of having such a player at Arsenal. If reports are true and this player is as good as Samuel Eto, then a chance needs to be taken on him. Can you imagine the potential upside by having a player of that quality and ability playing for Arsenal? This time round, I don’t think that Wenger wants to overlook another potential Samuel Eto.; Report this to a moderator

sprigs - 06 December 2007 05:28: you stupid sargen; Report this to a moderator

Sargen - 05 December 2007 18:37: As long as he can accept warming the bench for quite some time and not start to cry for playing time sometime in early spring, I could see why the boss wants him at the club.; Report this to a moderator

LB - 05 December 2007 17:51: Like you Ricky I'm befuddled unless Arsenal want to buy him to sell him for a profit in a year's time. But that's peddling in players. What the hell is the intention here? Maybe he is better than Eto'o!!!; Report this to a moderator

ricky - 05 December 2007 14:54: i cant really understand this...where should arsenal put another striker other then on the bench or in the stands?? bendtner, walcott and eduardo all need playtime so what to do with this guy? add to that supertalented carlos vela who will be coming back this summer...im confused; Report this to a moderator

Lookkoo - 05 December 2007 12:55: It's a good sign.; Report this to a moderator

lifelong gunner - 05 December 2007 12:51: His talent will only get better at arsenal. He must impress soon as he gets gametime. I think he can be a great player aroung the age of 24.; Report this to a moderator

Setanta readers' comment of the day

“While all big teams (Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool) were busy protecting their best players, Arsenal was in forefront encouraging injury prone Walcott to participate in that useless freindly. Arsenal has a very thin squad and I remember Walcott said it but Wenger didn't take action to add some players. Arsenal players are not made of steel and Wenger should be prepared for such situation. We need Arsenal supporters on the board of Arsenal who can feel the way we feel when the team is losing and they can force Wenger to buy some experience players. Current board members are only interested in profits yet they (profits) don't go into history of the club”
