Fiorentina want Arsenal Football Club to drop their asking price for Emmanuel Eboue.

The Ivory Coast international endured a difficult season with the Premier League side last season, and he has been linked with a summer exit from the Emirates Stadium.

Serie A side Fiorentina are said to be willing to pay £6million for Eboue, 26-years-old, but it is believed the Gunners want £9million for a player they signed from Beveren four years ago.

The Daily Star Sunday claim Viola are quite prepared to wait for the defender, but at the same time, they are also believed to be identifying potential alternatives.
