Lucas Biglia: 'Arsenal have been in contact'

Anderlecht captain Lucas Biglia has claimed that Arsenal have made contact with him over the possibility of a move to North London.

The 26-year-old has reportedly been approached by the Gunners and Real Madrid after a number of impressive displays in Belgium, with Liverpool and Napoli also weighing up a bid for the £8m Argentine, according to The Sun.

However, Biglia claims that the ball is in Anderlecht's court.

"Real Madrid and Arsenal have both been in contact," said Biglia.

"I am still under contract with Anderlecht until 2015 but they know that I plan to leave.

"If a club offers the right price, Anderlecht will let me go."

Biglia has been capped six times by La Albiceleste.
