Emmanuel Eboue eyes Ligue 1 transfer, defender says he's 'not finished'

Former Arsenal defender Emmanuel Eboue has issued a come-and-get me plea to clubs in France.

Eboue, 32, has been without a team since being released by Galatasaray last June and the right-back is desperate to find a new employer this month.

The former Ivory Coast international played with Arsenal between 2005 and 2011 and he was quoted by The Sun on Tuesday as saying that he would "love to come back" to the Gunners.

But Eboue told France Football that he would also be keen on a move to Ligue 1, saying that he would like "to show my talent to the French people."

"It's an interesting league and I follow it quite regularly on television," he told the magazine. "I have plenty of Ivorian brothers over there. It interests me a lot."

Eboue, who joined Galatasaray for €3.5 million in 2011, said he has no preference as to which French club he would like to play for.

"The most important thing for me is to find a club and be happy on the pitch," he said.

"I'm very hungry. I really want to prove to people that Emmanuel Eboue is not finished."
