Achille Degan hopes to convince Arsenal to give him a trial.

The Saint Lo wideman has set up camp outside the Gunners' London Colney training base in the hope of persuading Arsene Wenger to hand him a trial.

He told the Daily Star: “I have been in England since Thursday night. I want to give it a try at Arsenal.

“It is with much humility and respect that I can bring my stone to the team - I have the armour and the paraphernalia of the combatant.

“I am determined to show everything I have: I have the ambition, the shield of faith to win with the team and the sword of determination to never give up."
