Lupoli: I didn't even consider Arsenal offer

Young striker Arturo Lupoli has admitted that he didn't even consider the contract extension on offer from Arsenal, as he wanted to return to Italy.

The Italian has agreed a Bosman move to Fiorentina, and Lupoli reveals that he is already looking for a house in Florence.

Lupoli said: "Arsenal offered me an important contract extension but I didn't think about it.

"I am already looking for a house in Florence.

"Last summer I went with Arsenal to Austria and Arsène Wenger told me the need for me to play elsewhere on loan in order to have more playing time.

"I have adapted well to England but I have made a life choice and I couldn't say no to Fiorentina.

"It has been three important years.

"I have learned so much from champions like Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp."

Tari, what does that have to do with Lupoli leaving the club?

i just want to say this that Asene Wenger should allow the players to shoot away from the box, because i believe that is one of the main reason why we lost to Chelsea in the final. We can't afford to give away 2 final after scoring first, please i want the manager to think about it. Because it's very painful to see that Tomas Rosicky and Hleb was a great striker of the ball when they were in their former clubs. I don't mean we should play anyone's partern, i love the way we play but Asene Wenger should allow the players shoot from outside, PLEASE.
