VIDEO: The best of Park Chu-Young
According to BBC, Monaco striker Park Chu-young is set to complete a move to Arsenal this weekend.
The 26-year-old is reportedly heading for a medical within the next day and if the Korean does complete his move to Arsenal, he will join Japanese prospect Ryo Miyaichi as Arsenal’s new forward line of Asian sensations.
Standing at a fairly imposing 6’0 ft with quick feet and clinical finishing, not only is Park a mencae in attack, the Monaco favourite is also a free-kick specialist.
In case, you don’t know much about the South Korean captain, here you go.

looks great!
At £3 mil and as a squad player plus shirt sales in Asia could be a good deal. Just hoping the quality players we need on their way. Hazard or Martin, M;villa and Cahill. Just sayin Spurs got Ade and Parker, Chels Mata (who as we i right this has scored on his debut) and Lukaku in the last couple weeks n we got this guy ….. #inArsenewetrust
park chung young wil be a great player for arsenal
I have no problem with his cost and I think he is skilful and mobile BUT I do have an issue with this purchase because Park is not the best we could be getting with our cash, just the best deal!!
That should not be acceptable at the moment – we have sold two of our best players and needed to strengthen last years squad, which is now actually weaker
I dont want Wenger to spend gazillions, but am watching Juan Matas debut for the blue scum and he is electric and just scored – just what we need and COULD have afforded.
NO MORE BARGAIN BASEMENT DEALS – FOR GODS SAKE PLEASE BUY THE BEST WE CAN AFFORD, NOT JUST THE BEST DISCOUNTED DEAL!!!!!
It seems that the difference in £’ss valuation between many players is vast, but not necesarily the quality or potential. If this guy played in Spain or England agents would be asking for 3 X as much for a start. Once Chelsea went in for Mata he was never going to go to AFC ..wages cap would have seen to that…so ultimately we couldn’t afford him.
What can I say? Good deal. Looks to be a good player. I have only seen him playing for South Korea and has always been a stand out performer!
This would be fine if he is the replacement for Bendtner and we are still getting another (top) attacking player other wise this is a very uninspiring signing. Unfortunately, based on history of Wengers transfers, I really do not think this is going be a squad player at £3m he is it attacking wise for this window and it looks like he will cost us around £10m. This signing means no Hazard, no Kaka, no Sow, no Martin, no whoever else so might was well forget about a marque attacker.
Also I never trust these montage clips as you could just as easy make a clip of velas goals and he would look awesome. Bottom line is this players scored 13 goals last season in the french league, for a striker that is poor, there are far more prolific strikers in that league. All I am seeing in this clip is lots of flicks and tricks and passing when in a shooting opportunity, we don’t need that, we got too much of that already, we need a goal scorer.
Is he a free kick specialist? where are all the free kicks? I saw 1 in the world cup, is he being falsely classed a free kick specialist like Roberto Carlos was because of his one famous effort and everyone presume he was prolific when in fact he only ever scored about 3 in his whole career?
I am really not convinced by this signing, I sincerely hope that I am proved wrong, but this is not going to appease the fans or the get the press of Arsene’s back, we need something to really get excited about right now and I’m afraid this just doesn’t cut it.
There are two types of Arsenal fans during the transfer window.
There are the transfer-starving ones who will get excited over ANY signing…..even if Wenger signed a potato, they wold cheer it’s a quality move.
And there are the ‘will never be satisfied’ ones who will try best to come up with any negative point about a transfer…they would see signing Ronaldo as a very wrong move because he’s Portuguese and Portuguese never succeed at Arsenal.
Henry was struggling in Italy when he was brought and he hit the ground running after a number of games of acclimatization. Adebayor was not as prolific as he became under Wenger when we bought him. Van Persie had a bad boy image b4 he joined us. We criticized Jenkinson because he did not cost us several millions of pounds. Gervinho is cheap for the value he has shown. Wenger has a record of improving the output of players. I think that we should watch out and see what happens. If we bought Torres £50m like Chelsea and he did not score for half a season, how would you react? He would have been seen as a marquee signing but he has not delivered according to his transfer fee. Cheap does not always mean low quality.
Arsene and arsenal can go to hell if they dn’t buy eden hazard,m’villa AND cahill. After losing out on jose,mata,kaka,benzema and others,u want to lose out on these too. I hate this club. Be useful arsene,u av about a 100 million bucks. Gosh!
You hate this club? I think that says enough about what kind of fan you are.
if you hate this club, you can fuck off.
We can’t do anything about the transfer market, we can only improve the team by supporting them – so why isn’t everyone 100% behind the team? Whining about the transfer market is just making everything worse, and that is obviously not what we want. Pull your head out of your fucking ass Chiwueze
u r a funny guy! I bet you read a lot of shit in the papers!!!!! Get behind your team or change fanbase like every other fickle headed gunner does!!!!
Cheap option again another unproven unknown player and basically destroy our chance of landing hazard as we’ve stole him from Lille probably doing it so he doesn’t have to get his wallet out for hazard this is a joke and an embarrassment to all arsenal supporters highest ticket prices massive profits sold our best players no trophies in 6-7 years and what do loyal arsenal fans get in return more kids and unproven rubbish this is a disaster sack the board this club is going backwards and needs a complete revamp or it’s bye bye rvp walcott tv5 I can’t believe this!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Top signing and 2 to follow bet u they are mvila 22mil, cahill 15-17 mill. Midfield wil be exiting wilshere and strong guarder mvila!
Looks a step up on Bendtner! The downside is, having swiped him from under Lille’s noses, it’s scuppered any chance of Hazard. Oh well.
I agree that Mata would have been a great signing, but don’t blame Wenger – he wanted him too. Blame the holders of the purse strings, Kroenke-Gazides, who wouldn’t come up with money, despite the release clause that would have let him go before 1 August for a fraction of what Chelsea have paid. Evidently our owners wanted to bank the money for Cesc and Nasri and CL qualification before permitting further signings. This left Wenger approximately 5 days.
Jesus. You lot have to be most miserable, ungrateful supporters in this country. ‘Marquee signings’? Park is captain of S/ Korea, twice Monaco player of the year, scored 13 goals from the wing last season and was wanted by AC and Lille..
You have just signed Gervinho, Chamberlain too amongst others and you are still complaining…
Nasri is right… great club wasted on pathetic fans. What a spoilt brat, horrible bunch you are.
Hotdog, you can’t get rid of players like cesc and nasri and not replace then with at least one world class proven player. Yeah he got player of the year but monaco got relegated so there probably wasnt much compettion. We have been scrapping the barrel so much in recent seasons and doing far better than the sum of our parts but that PL trophy is getting further and further away, especially since City upped the anti, this is the first season we have had some real money to spend and we should use it now as there is a real risk we could drop out the top 4 this year.
I never usually whinge about transfers as I usually trust in wengers judgment but with everything that has happened we need a ‘big’ signing, for morale, for the team and to let the opposition know we are still a threat. Nobody is scared of us anymore which is why we continually drop point to sh*t teams.
I have not complained about the other signings but most of them are for the future, but
it gets to point where it like FFS you can’t keep gambling everytime with cheap transfers. This is nothing against Park as a player personal but it is the type of signing he is. Far enough if Wenger wants him but he should have got a proven signing in first then get the squad/gamble players in afterwards. We all need a lift now, you can see it every week in the stadium (and i not talking about booboys that is wrong and i don’t do that, I mean the fans who get behind the team) we pay a f*ck load of money to watch our team and all we see is our best players being sold and replaced by gambles. We just can’t take worrying if this guy is another Squillaci or Denilson.
Ant 1 – perspective is a wonderful thing. To a lot of premiership clubs, Park would be a dream ‘marquee’ signing.. newcastle, villa, spurs to name a few that were keen this summer. These supporters pay just as much money as gooner fans. No club has a divine right to be in the top 4. Big clubs have fallen from grace – and even divisions: Leeds, man city – of old, newcastle, sheff wed, southampton, charlton…
I don’t want to give you a hard time- sounds like you are through-thick-n-thin type supporter, but you have no idea how good you have it in the wider picture. CL every year, players of the calibre Chamberlain, Park and Gervinho ‘not good enough’!?!?!?
Speaking as someone who supports a lower placed team, reading this negativity, hearing the booing and ‘poor us’ after signing players like Park, leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
But hey good luck for the season – I have a hunch you will do better than you think.. still title contenders for me.
well said mate
Whatever dat is what doing is what doing well,signing good players as replacement to fabregas and nasri is very very important.if wenger really want trophy dis season,let him sign 3 strong and known players as soon as possible.cant fans be happy again?
What a good deal for arsenal we need much more singing surley we will win trophy.
Becks
Arsenal need a well known and established players that fit into arsenal style of play.
