Arsenal's Ivory Coast stars want Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou to join them at the Emirates.

"I tell you what, Kalou has been speaking about Arsenal for a while. He wants to play for Arsenal since a long while back," Emmanuel Eboue told setanta.com.

"Even when we were at the [Jean-Marc Guillou] Academy he told me about Arsenal's attacking football.

"At the moment he's a Chelsea player so it depends on him. He may think that he would be happier at Arsenal, but he seems happy were he is at the moment."

Kolo Toure added : "Salomon is 'mon petit' as we say in Ivory Coast. He is a very clever kid who knows what he wants and who deserves what is happening to him.

"For sure I hope that one day we will play together."
