Arsenal offered contract to Zigic, says agent

Arsenal have offered a contract to former Birmingham City striker Nikola Zigic, according to the Serbian forward's agent.Continue....
The Gunners could be in the market for a new frontman after Olivier Giroud picked up an injury that is expected to keep him out of action for up to four months.

And now Zigic's agent, Milan Calasan, has suggested that Arsene Wenger is looking to bring the towering attacker to north London to deputise for Giroud - though Zigic could yet shun Arsenal and move to Turkey or Switzerland instead.

When asked about Arsenal's reported interest in Zigic, Calasan told SPORT: “It is true. Wenger called me on Tuesday afternoon and told me that he wants to bring Zigic to Arsenal.

“It is clear that you cannot reject an offer like that. But Zigic is the one who must decide. He must say what he wants.

“But Wenger was clear, he is offering a contract until the end of the season with the option for another 12 months.

“I know that Arsenal are in a hurry, but Nikola also has offers from Turkey and Switzerland.”
