Eboue proud of Barca link

It has been suggested that the Ivory Coast international could leave Emirates Stadium this summer. Fiorentina were credited with an interest but a move failed to materialise, with reports claiming the Gunners' asking price was too high for the Serie A club. Barca have since been linked with a swoop for Eboue as coach Pep Guardiola allegedly seeks backup for first-choice right-back Daniel Alves. Eboue is flattered by the speculation, telling skysports.com: "It is an honour to be linked with the best team in Europe, that means I am valued by people. "I have lost my Arsenal place, and, while the papers talked about Fiorentina, nothing happened, so I don't know about Barcelona. Let's wait and see."
