News reaches me this evening that the deal to sign Sébastien Squillaci from Sevilla is complete.
The Frenchman has signed his Arsenal contract and handed the number 18 squad number.
The defender will go into the squad to face Blackburn Rovers on Saturday
The move will be announced by the official site within the coming days. More comment as and when that happens.

Thanks for the infos, mate, hope you're right! I hope the ATVO will not delay the confirmation with the interviews :P.
ReplyDeleteisnt dat d number silvestre vacated?
ReplyDeleteIt is, Cygan wore it before him and it was Grimandi's before that, the last time it wasn't worn by a French defender was when Steve Morrow had it in 1995-96!
