Former Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye has claimed that he did want to play for Arsenal last summer.

The Frenchman refused to play for the club at the start of the season after their refused his transfer to the Gunners over the summer.

Cabaye did get his way in the end, and left Newcastle for Paris Saint-Germain in January and has starred at his new club.

But he revealed his regret when speaking to Telefoot.

“I would have liked to play for Wenger last summer but, unfortunately, it didn’t happen,” he said.

“I was approached by PSG and Kombouare but it didn’t happen, then I went to England. PSG is prepared to win everything.”

He added. “The players share a mentality making them wanting to go as far as possible.

“If we have the possibility to snatch the Champions League, we will do it. [Zlatan] Ibra[himovic] is doing extraordinary things and Thiago [Silva] is a monster at the back. It’s a new challenge. I want to last here and to win. It is my destiny.”
