Kuffour wants Arsenal move

Bayern Munich defender Samuel Kuffour is encouraging Arsenal to make an offer.

Bayern Munich defender Samuel Kuffour is encouraging Arsenal to make an offer for his services.

Kuffour is out of contract at the end of the season and appears likely to leave the German giants in the summer.

The Bavarian outfit have hinted they will trim their squad for next season and Ghanaian stopper Kuffour is tipped to be part of the cull.

He has spent over a decade with Bayern and pocketed a string of honours but he is now setting his sights on a move to The Premiership.

The 28-year-old admits his wife wants to live in England and he is hoping his likely availability will tempt Arsenal into a bid.

"My wife Francisca wants to live in England," commented Kuffour.

"She has family there and I'd like to play for Arsenal.

"I like the way they play for each other."

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has recently admitted his defence is suffering from a crisis of confidence and may perceive Kuffour as a recruit who could inject some steel back into his rearguard.
