Arsenal boss urged Eboue to join Galatasaray

Eboue left Arsenal for Galatasaray in the summer of 2011.

“Arsene Wenger told me it would be very hard for me to get a place in the first team, and because of that, I wanted to leave,” Eboue told Sabah.

“He told me that I should assess the Galatasaray offer.

“[Fatih] Terim declaring that he wanted me in a press conference made up my mind for me.”
