Emmanuel Eboue: I'm staying at Arsenal

James Olley
27 Aug 2009


Emmanuel Eboue claimed he has put last season's nightmare campaign behind him and vowed to stay at Arsenal for years to come.

The 26-year-old suffered jeers and taunts from his own fans on several occasions, leading to rumours he was prepared to leave the club this summer to join Serie A side Fiorentina. But after joining Eduardo and substitute Andrey Arshavin on the scoresheet in last night's 3-1 win over Celtic, Eboue revealed he would be happy to sign an extension to his current contract.

"The boss has given me some confidence, my friends helped me a lot and now I feel very well when I play," said Eboue. "Last season I wanted to give my best on the pitch, it was different but I have forgotten about that and this season I want to give my best.

"I'll wait [for a new contract] but if they want me to sign I will sign because I love this club."
