AS Monaco defender reveals reason behind Arsenal snub
“Arsenal wanted to sign me in the previous transfer window, they are one of the best clubs in the world and I can confirm that they made an official offer. They’re proposal, however, arrived when I had already decided to move to AS Monaco, they were late and I had already taken my decision.”
“After the 2015-16 campaign, I was expecting some offers and I was flattered by Arsenal’s interest. At the moment, however, I am only focused on AS Monaco.”
Sidibé has one goal and one assist in 16 official games with the Monegasques so far this season. The 24-year-old completed a € 15 million switch from Lille last summer.
