It is true. Wenger called me on Tuesday afternoon and told me that he wants to bring Zigic to Arsenal. It is clear that you cannot reject an offer like that. But Zigic is the one who must decide. He must say what he wants.
But Wenger was clear, he is offering a contract until the end of the season with the option for another 12 months. I know that Arsenal are in a hurry, but Nikola also has offers from Turkey and Switzerland.
And if you think about it, it makes perfect sense, Sky Sports really have it pegged;
An experienced head with a proven record at the highest level is being sought, and 33-year-old Serbian Zigic would appear to fit the bill.
But let's cut the bullshit. Every neutral/non-Arsenal fan would dearly love this to be true, but it's not. Matt Law of the Telegraph summed up the likelihood of this happening rather nicely.
Zigic and Arsenal is complete nonsense, in case you hadn't guessed #afc

That doesn't mean it's not been a highly entertaining story. While it seems most people have come around to the reality of the situation, there's always a few who are bound to take this kind of thing to heart.
Please, dear God, can we sign man like @dannywelbeck22 & NOT Nikola Zigic? Know he can't his a cow's arse with a banjo but Zigic is WASTE!!!

These Zigic rumours are making me angry and extremely concerned. Just shows how I would rather play Sanogo than a rubbish player like him !!

If we buy Zigic, Ozil, Sanchez, Cazorla, Ox, Ramsey and Wilshere can leave. That is not fair to them
