Ligue 1 - Prem duo fight over Dindane

Eurosport - Sun, 20 Jul 18:15:00 2008

Racing Lens striker Aruna Dindane has been linked with a £10 million moves to Manchester City, Portsmouth and Wigan Athletic.

Manchester United and Fulham are also reportedly keeping an eye on the powerful Ivory Coast striker, 27, even though he won't be available until October following a knee operation.

In France, he is being courted by Lyon, Nancy and St Etienne, but Dindane would prefer a crack at the Premier League, according to reports on Sunday.

Dindane, who first played in Europe for Anderlecht, moved to Lens in the summer of 2005 and has since scored 25 goals in 90 appearances for the club.

Last season he scored a modest eight goals in 28 appearances but could not stop the club being relegated despite reaching the French Cup final and featuring in the UEFA Cup.

  1. To opowicz: City's package to Ronaldinho was £200,000 per week. That would have made him the highest paid player in football. Eto would not get that much...so he is cheaper. What gives with the insults?

  4. What is City doing? AHHH! Eto is available and I don't think anyone here would disagree that he would be the purchase of the summer. Much cheaper than Ronaldinho would have been.

    £10m for Dindane? and no offer for Eto?

    What are we doing?

  5. why oh why are second rate players in the french league( or any other league) like Dindane even considered by clubs,playing in the weak french league and this guy could only manage 8 goals for a team that got relegated, his record is 25 goals in 90 games a pathetic return, its all about the scum bag agents but the idiots who are in charge of our teams outside the top 4 must be desperate
