Lille bracing for departure of Arsenal target Kalou

Sky Sports is reporting that Salomon Kalou could depart Lille this summer.

The 28-year old Ivory Coast international has been in fine scoring form in France since arriving at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy from Chelsea in July 2012 and has emerged as a transfer target for a number of clubs.

Arsenal were keen on Kalou in January and have been credited with more interest as the summer window approaches while Roma, Atletico Madrid, Monaco and Galatasaray are also in the mix.

Kalou, who is contracted to Lille until the summer of 2016, has scored 32 goals in 76 outings for Les Dogues over the past two seasons.
