Blackburn Rovers defender Christopher Samba wants Arsenal move

By Jason Burt9:19AM BST 28 Jul 2011Comments His former defensive partner, Phil Jones, cited European competition as a reason for joining Manchester United and despite Blackburn's confidence that they can hold onto Samba, the 27-year-old Congolese is being considered by a number of clubs, headed by Arsenal. "At the minute I'm at Blackburn. We'll see what happens," Samba said after captaining his club in the Asia Trophy yesterday against Aston Villa. "It's difficult, but I'm just waiting to see what happens and concentrating on my preparation…I don't know about Arsenal as I'm not dealing with it. "(But) If you get a player who has no ambition to play higher he made a mistake and chose the wrong sport. He should do something else. When you're a footballer or play any high profile sport you should be ambitious. It's not my problem and I'm just trying to get myself fit. "Of course I'd like to play in the Champions League, which player doesn't dream of that? It would be a lie if I told you 'everything is good and I don't want to play in the Champions League.' That would be a big lie. Every player wants to do that." Related Articles
