Chu-young on the verge of signing for Arsenal


South Korean front man Park Chu-Young is set to complete a dream move to Premier League side Arsenal.

Chu-Young was on the brink of signing on the dotted line for French side Lille with them expecting Park to attend a second Medical for them on Saturday but the Striker didn’t turn up and will now travel to the Emirates Stadium for a Medical. The 26 year old was once a target for Premier League rivals Fulham.

AFC U-19 Championship winner Park made 69 appearances and scored  23 times for FC Seoul between 2005 & 2008

During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Park scored an own goal in a 4-1 defeat by Argentina. However, in South Korea's next match he scored a crucial free-kick in a 2-2 draw with Nigeria, which intern helped South Korea through to the last 16 of the tournament.
