Arsenal utility Emmanuel Eboue would welcome Guus Hiddink taking the Ivory Coast job.

Former Chelsea boss Hiddink is in the frame to lead Ivory Coast to this year's World Cup.

Speaking to the Arsenal official matchday programme, Eboue stated: "It's true we have a very difficult group, but when people say it will be difficult for us, I say not just for us but it will be difficult for all four teams in that group.

"If we get that focus, give 100 per-cent, we are good enough to do well at the World Cup, I'm sure.

"We have no manager right now and are waiting for the next man. For someone it is a good job because we are at the World Cup and have lots of good players.

"If Hiddink came, of course he would be very welcome and he knows some of our players, Kalou and Drogba obviously. I think he could be happy with us."
