ARSENAL have pulled out of the running for Scott Parker and now want French league superkid Eden Hazard.
Starsport revealed how Arsene Wenger targeted Parker after West Ham’s relegation.
But the player’s recent injury problems made the Gunners boss back off, particularly as Tottenham and Liverpool’s interest could push the price up.
Instead, he has turned to Lille’s Belgium international Hazard, 20, who is France’s Footballer of the Year following his club’s title success.
He is an attacking midfielder who Lille value at around £30m.
Wenger may also bid for Aston Villa’s England winger Stewart Downing.
He knows fans want to see English talent at the club and they will be upset at him backing off Parker.
I've been reading stuff that has been talking as if Hiddink is the most likely candidate to replace Ancelotti at the chavs. That would suck. He had them playing the best football in the world when he was there. As long as there is no massive injury crisis, I think a Hiddink-led Chelsea team is a lock to win the league.
oh and the De Gea news sucks. He's gonna be a great keeper for years and years and years. And unlike Sczajkfsuy, he gets to learn behind Vidic and Ferdinand and on a team that practices set pieces.
All bad news, a player like Parker was exactly what we needed in our powder puff midfield. Even injured he could have shown our little darlings what it means to show commitment to the cause. And if Hazard is really rated at £30mill then we can forget about him, not that we need another technical midfielder with zero experience of the PL. Stewart Downing. Just LOL. Or cry. Or LOL. Or both. In the end Wenger will do what he always does, plough on with his fantasy trip regardless of the results it produces. French lower leagues and deepest, darkest Peru is where the action's at, Arsene knows!

Gee has poor saves to shot ratio apparently. Thinks the manc have overspent. Meanwhile...
Daily mailManchester City in talks over £20m Cahill deal
Published 23:00 25/05/11 By Alan Nixon - EXCLUSIVE Recommend
Manchester City are closing in on a deal for Bolton’s England centre-half Gary Cahill in a hurry - with Nedum Onuoha a the key part of a £20million move.
Cahill will be sold for the right money and City are discussing the fee, with defender Onuoha now the favourite makeweight in the move.
Onuoha has been on loan at Sunderland for the season, and they are also interested in him, but Bolton chief Owen Coyle is keen to take the player plus cash in exchange for Cahill.
If the clubs can sort out the numbers, Cahill may even be cleared to speak to City this week.
The classy Bolton defender knows he needs the challenge of Europe to boost his bid to become an England regular and City’s strong finish to grab third place - and a ticket straight into the group phase of the Champions League - makes them attractive to him.
City boss Roberto Mancini wants Cahill for a position he plans to strengthen and that will be bad news for Onuoha, whose days at Eastlands are numbered.
Bolton are keen to take Onuoha permanently, but they also want young Belgian Dedryck Boyata to be part of the exchange on loan - Coyle has been tracking him for months.
However, Bolton’s interest in taking Craig Bellamy as part of the swap is waning because the striker wants to go back to Cardiff, where he has spent a season on loan - and they need quick answers on their targets.
I fucking hate city. 20mill plus two player swap...
I just hope something prevents De Gead from going to mutd. Let´s have faith, maybe the idea of learning from Almunia and Lehmann, plus playing behind Squillaci and Gibbs when our top 2 keepers are injured, lures him to come to the Emirates
Seriously where´s Wenger´s talent to spot youngsters? I read those De Gea news and it made me hate Chesapeake, Flapianski and all our gk wannabes
Wenger getting his excuses in early re: retaining his players being his priority. If he actually showed some ambition and went and strengthened the team with QUALITY we probably wouldn't face this recurring situation of our stars wanting out.
This summer will be the same as every summer.....
