Arsenal 'showed interest' in Dutch winger

Holland winger Eljero Elia has revealed there was interest in him from Arsenal before he finally completed a deadline-day move to Juventus.

The 24-year-old, who had grown dissatisfied at Hamburg, rejected the possibility of a move to Galatasaray, as well as a host of clubs from England, where Holland coach Bert van Marwijk was keen to see him go.
