Fiorentina Target Emmanuel Eboue Appears To Bid Arsenal Fans Farewell

The utility man seemed to be saying goodbye at the end of the Gunners' friendly today...

Emmanuel Eboue full of smiles, having scored his first ever Premier League goal for Arsenal in their 3-1 win over Bolton Wanderers.
Arsenal defender Emmnauel Eboue has been heavily linked with a move to Fiorentina this week, with The Daily Mirror reporting that he is set to sign a five-year deal with the Italian outfit, as the Gunners have accepted a bid of £9 million for his services.

That potential switch was perhaps given some extra credence this afternoon, when, at the end of Arsenal's 1-0 victory over German outfit Hannover 96 in Austria today, the player removed his shirt and threw it to the Arsenal fans, as though he was saying goodbye.

Eboue's potential switch would be another significant departure on a day when centre-back Kolo Toure joined Manchester City in a deal reported to be worth £15 million, joining his fellow former Gunner Emmanuel Adebayor at Eastlands.

Eboue received some pretty intense barracking at times from the Emirates faithful last season, and perhaps fans will welcome this possible exit a little more than those of Toure and Adebayor.

Concerns linger amongst supporters though that Arsenal are turning into a 'selling club', with ambitious players choosing to move on, and they will hope that manager Arsene Wenger will move to use some of the proceeds of the sales very soon.
