According to L'Equipe, experienced defender Mikael Silvestre has turned down an offer from Turkish outfit Kayserispor. They were reportedly ready to offer the Frenchman an annual salary of €1.3 million, but the former Arsenal player is not interested in moving to Turkey.

Silvestre has been a free agent ever since he was released by the Gunners earlier this summer and has since been looking for a new club.

Clubs such as Fulham, West Ham United and Wigan Athletic are all believed to be interested in securing the services of the 33 year old veteran defender.
