Arsene Wenger has made no secret of his admiration for Tim Cahill, sparking suggestions the Aussie midfielder amy be high on Arsenal's target list this summer.
Although Cahill has expressed no desire to move away from Goodison Park any time soon, that won't stop the rumour mill and the Arsenal manager's comments are grist to the mill.
Arsenal Target Mamadou Sakho Confirms Paris Saint-Germain Stay
Paris Saint-Germain captain Mamadou Sakho has claimed he will not be moving to Arsenal this summer.
Reports had recently suggested that the French defender was set to move to the Emirates Stadium in the summer, but this has since been denied by the 19-year-old.
The player's agent claimed that the north London club had made an offer for the France Under-21 international
The young Frenchman is widely regarded as one of his homeland's hottest prospects, and looks set to have a long future in the national side, with many clubs reportedly interested in securing his services.
An official statement on the Frenchman's personal website said: "I want to formally refute the statements that have been published in the press. There was never any question that I leave PSG. No transfer is in process."
The central defender has been at Parc des Princes his whole career, joining in 2001 and making his first-team bow two years ago, and now seems intent on continuing his spell with the club for a little while longer, despite the rumours of interest from some of Europe's top sides.
He has since made 35 Ligue 1 appearances for the club, scoring one goal.
Arsene Wenger has praised Everton midfielder Tim Cahill, sparking rumours that the Australian will be Arsenal's top transfer target this summer.
Cahill played a big role in Everton's run to the FA Cup Final last season, and Wenger was hugely impressed.
"He is efficient, he is a team player, he works very hard and in any English league, which has a reputation for being strong in the air, he dominates everybody in the air," Wenger said.
"When you look at his size, it just shows you his intelligence. He must be a very intelligent player, because his anticipation level is very strong, and he is a fighter as well."
However, Cahill has insisted that he is not looking to leave Goodison Park, even though he is tempted by Champions League football.
"Every player would love to play in the Champions League and be winning medals and all that but you have to assess what's right for your family, what's right for you and what the club is trying to build," he said.
"I love silverware, I love all the award nominations and all that but I also think I've achieved a lot and have been part of a league team that's been contesting more and more, not a team that's slumping or that's stayed stagnant.
"I've been here for five years and they've always rewarded and looked after me."
