Ex Arsenal target, Appiah, passes medical at Tottenham


By Aries

Arsene Wenger asked Stephen Appiah to come over to London Colney so that his staff and himself could assess him. This was a few months ago when the captain of Ghana finally relieved himself off the clutches of Fenerbace and became a free agend.

He had just recovered from a botched knee operation in Turkey which, as he claims, had gone wrong leaving him out of action for the best part of ten months.

Since then a lot of clubs had been interested in him including Arsenal who were (are?) still looking for a strong experienced defensive midfielder.

He however flatly refused to go on trial:

“If they want to check me out in terms of fitness that is fine but don’t tell me to get on the field and play for you to see how good I am because even if I am sleeping and I wake up I can play” he said.

Appiah then went on to prove his fitness by playing in Ghana’s last two World Qualifiers.

Well he has in the last two weeks been on trial with Spurs as Harry Redknap, who was keen on signing him during his Portsmouth days, renewed his interest now that Spurs can afford his £60,000 a week wages.

Our sources in Ghana indicate that Appiah has impressed during his trial at Spurs and has undergone a medical this week which he is reported to have passed.

It is reported that doctors have been assessing his blood, heart and more importantly, the knee which has kept him out of action for so long.

It would appear that the only impediment now will be his wage negotiations between Appiah’s agent and Tottenham Hotspur.

He’s expected to sign a contract which ends this season and may be extended if he impresses.

Never mind. Ya Ya Toure will be joining Arsenal this week.

What a lot of tripe - the only Arsenal interest in Appiah was generated by sites like yours. Arsene denied any interest in the player and I'd take his word over yours. Also, you say Appiah claimed to be too good to go on trial at Arsenal, but he goes on trial at spurs for 2 weeks? yeah right!

He wasn't good enough when Juve tried to offer him to us as part of a player plus cash swap deal! So I doubt he is now then!

Arsene denied any interest in Arshavin two weeks and now he is neither confirming it or denying it.

LOL. going to spuds = ruining your career.. unless you are a super talent like berbatov. zokora is better than appiah. if zokora is made to look poor at shite hart lane, then appiah will be made to look even worse.. like piss perhaps.

Appiah is better than Denilson/Song/Diaby.

That is a fact.

Fact 2 Arsenal are stingy.

Fact 3 Arsenal's tickets are the most expensive in the league.

Hello 1970’s Gooner.

I think you don't remember this at all and with logical reason, but back in August 2007 a news came up in this blogspot saying that Wilson Palacios was going to sign with Arsenal. I read it and later left my opinion saying that he was a great player with a bright future ahead and it was really bad how you were dooming him just because of his nationality. I also said that all he needed was a chance.

A little bit less than two years later, look at him. Star of Wigan and currently signing with Tottenham.

I know Tottenham is in a really bad position currently, but they are a club with history, and us Hondurans are proud that one of our best players is signing with them.

I just wanted to know what you think about him now, because I remember two years ago you didn't know him at all.

Wish you the best from my lovely country Honduras, and I hope your team does well this season =)
