Arsenal hope to dump Wiltord on Inter

First Published: May 31, 2001

Internazionale are ready to pay Arsenal £12 millon for French striker Sylvain Wiltord.

Arsenal want to dump Wiltord who kept up his reputation for temper tantrums and selfish behaviour earned at Bordeaux after his move from the French club last year.

Wiltord is with the French squad at the Confederatons Cup and scored in the 5-0 win over South Korea yesterday and Arsenal have already offered him to Lazio without success.

The Premiership club paid £13 million for Wiltord but was not been a regular at any stage during the last season but top scored for the club on the way to the FA Cup final. Inter want cover for the regular injuries suffered by Christian Vieri.
