Fiorentina have confirmed their interest in Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Eboue, but they could find it hard to land him.

Viola president Andrea Della Valle has revealed the club are keen on the Ivorian international following the sale of Felipe Melo to Juventus. Eboue can play in defence as well as in the midfield.

"Eboue is an excellent player, but it will not be easy to sign him," Della Valle told the press.

"These are our objectives and we will follow them. We are making big efforts, but we are keeping in mind the limits we have."

Reports in Italy suggest the Viola may bid €10 million for the Gunners man and sign him on a five-year deal.

Earlier, the player's agent Pascal Boisseau, claimed Spanish teams were after his client.

“It’s not just Fiorentina after him, but there are also Spanish teams." Boisseau told Fiorentina.it.
