Arsenal manager reveals the club is interested in obtaining the services of the 26-year old Brazilian mid-fielder.
The London club had made an attempt to sign Felipe Melo last summer in a possible swap deal for Emmanuel Eboue. But, the Brazilian ended up leaving Fiorentina for Juventus.
Arsene Wenger’s quotes:
“We were interested in Melo during the summer," he said in the match-day programme. "We watched him in Brazil's international game at the Emirates, against Italy (in February 2009), when he had an outstanding game."
“Then he went to Juventus and that team has struggled and certainly he has not had the season that everyone predicted he would. We still think he is a very talented player and, with Gilberto Silva, Brazil have a very useful pair in midfield. We are still looking at Melo."
