Park Chu-Young to Sign Today

Arsenal are to announce the arrival of South Korea's captain. The striker is 26 years-old and is at an age that he can slot straight in the the first 11. Park is arriving from French outfit Monaco, so he's familiar with the pressure of performing for a big club.


Apparently we stole Park at the last minute from Lille, where he was about to have a second medical for the club. This could destroy our chances of getting Eden Hazard, if we were ever to go for him.  


Chu-Young is set to be handed the number 9 shirt, which to many was an unlucky number. Hopefully he can make it his own.

Arsenal's new number 9

Arsenal have paid £2.6 million up front and a the a potential £1.7 million in bonuses could be added on top in the initial fee. Park will earn £170,000 a month at the Emirates.
