Barcelona Set To Make Emmanuel Eboue Bid - Report

Barcelona are considering testing Arsenal's patience with a bid for defender Emmanuel Eboue after a decision was made that the right-back position needs strengthening.

Already linked with a move for Cesc Fabregas, the initial contact with the Gunners could be made by the Blaugrana for a different player, according to Radio Montecarlo.

Daniel Alves is the first choice player on the right side of Pep Guardiola's back four, but technical secretary Txiki Begiristain thinks that he needs strong competition.

While Carles Puyol can move across to cover, Barca do not have a player that would only be employed to play there and believe that Eboue could fill the role.

Having been linked with AC Milan and Fiorentina already this summer, the Catalan outfit believe that the Ivory Coast international would not take much persuading to leave.

Also, he is not assured of a place in Arsene Wenger's team and a bid of around €10 million could see the London club willing to do business.

He is not bad as a substitute right back. Thats what he will be at Barcelona always with Dani Alves up there.
