Arsenal have taken Ghanaian International Anthony Annan on a weeks trial at the Emirates Stadium, following the midfielder being put through his paces at Ewood park with Blackburn Rovers.

22-year-old Annan currently plays for Norwegian side IK Start, but was on loan at Stabaek from January in the Tippeligaen. With the abrasive midfielder attracting attention from Chelsea and Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.

However due to Start’s relegation from the Tippeligaen last season, Annan has declared his desire for a move away from the Sor Arena.

Ligue 1 side Olympique Marseille have also shown interest in the Ghanaian, but no firm offer has arrived from the Stade Velodrome. With Annan spending a week on trial at Blackburn recently.

Now reports in the Norwegian media are claiming that the Gunners are to hand Annan a weeks trial at their London Colney training ground, where he will work with the reserves in a bid to earn a deal at the Emirates.
