Arsenal turned down Michu before Swansea move

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will be ruing letting Michu slip through his hands.

The Daily Star says Arsenal decided not to pursue their interest in the £2million bargain from Rayo Vallecano. The midfielder-cum-striker now has 11 goals this season.

Swans boss Michael Laudrup said: "I'm very pleased with Michu. He was always going to be a bargain whatever price, because goals get points.

"He's got 11 goals in 15 appearances but he's not just a goalscorer - he works hard too."
