Blackburn defender Samba expects Arsenal move to happen

Arsenal remain confident closing a deal for Blackburn Rovers defender Christopher Samba.

The People says the Gunners are loading manager Arsene Wenger up with a £60m transfer kitty in a bid to keep up with Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Everton are not interested in selling Phil Jagielka, so it that puts Samba, 27, firmly back on Wenger's radar.

Sources close to the Congo giant reckon a deal will eventually be agreed.
