Squillaci couldn’t turn down Gunners

Sevilla defender Sebastien Squillaci admits he found it “practically impossible” to turn down fellow Frenchman Arsene Wenger as he prepares to complete his transfer to Arsenal.

The Spanish side last night confirmed they have accepted an offer from Arsenal for Frenchman Squillaci, who is expected to have a medical today with a view to signing for the Gunners ahead of next Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
