Arsenal Join List Of Premier League Clubs Chasing Celtic's Honduras International Emilio Izaguirre - Report
23-Feb-2011 4:00:00 AM
Arsenal are believed to have joined the race to sign Celtic's Honduran international left-back Emilio Izaguirre.
The former Motagua full-back, who represented Honduras at last year's World Cup, has been linked with Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool in the last few weeks.
However, the Daily Mail are claiming that Arsenal are now interested in the defender who was reportedly valued at £4.5 million just over half a year after signing for £650,000 from Motagua, whom he had represented more than 140 times.
But, after his increasing rise in stock, it is now believed that Celtic could be holding out for at least £8m for the player.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is understood to have attended the weekend's Old Firm match in which Celtic beat Rangers 3-0, in order to compile a report on the 24-year-old, with Arsenal also believed to have sent a scout to monitor the defender.
