SUKER HEADING FOR THE HAMMERS
Arsenal striker Davor Suker has revealed he could be heading out of
Highbury this
summer and moving to London rivals West Ham.
Suker has failed to hold down a first team place despite scoring 11
goals since his
move from Real Madrid last summer.
He is reported to have said. "I am sure I will be leaving Arsenal and I
think my next
destination will be West Ham. I will stay in London because I love the
lifestyle."
The Croatian international - top scorer at the last World Cup - has
started only seven
Premiership games this season. Now 32, he believes he can still play at
the highest
level, and was linked to a move to Upton Park in the close season before
opting to
join Arsene Wenger's side.
On Thursday, in Arsenal's UEFA Cup semi-final first leg against Lens, he
was again on the bench as Thierry
Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Kanu are all ahead of Suker in the striking
pecking order at Highbury.
