Arsenal beat Everton to sign Feyenoord's £12million enforcer De Guzman
Arsenal are set to snap up Feyenoord’s Jonathan de Guzman, with boss Arsene Wenger making a £12million approach for the midfield enforcer. The Canadian-born 20-year-old has recently been in action for Holland in Beijing after securing Dutch citizenship in January.
Inevitably, his no-nonsense style has drawn comparisons with Manchester United's Owen Hargreaves. Yet de Guzman is very much seen as his own man, and will join Arsenal to link up with fellow Dutchman Robin van Persie, despite interest from Premier League rivals Everton.
A Dutch Under 21 international, de Guzman is the younger brother of Canadian international Julian de Guzman, who plies his trade in Spain for Deportivo La Coruna.
De Guzman recently said: 'My dream clubs are Arsenal and Barcelona. If clubs of that stature are interested in you then you cannot say no. 'I’m certainly open to interest from Arsenal and from what I hear Feyenoord are happy to hear from them as well,' according to The Sun.

De Guzman move unlikely says agent
Feyenoord star Jonathan de Guzman is unlikely to make a move to The Premier League this summer, his agent has stated.
The 20-year-old midfielder has been linked with both Arsenal and Everton of late, with a switch to either appearing to be on the horizon after the player’s admittance that the prospect of a move to England interested him.
However, Jan de Visser has revealed that he believes the chances of a switch are now slim as the Eredivisie side’s valuation of the Holland international exceeds what his suitors are willing to pay.
“I don’t expect a transfer of Jonathan this summer,” De Visser said.
“The price that Feyenoord ask for him is too much for the interested clubs. And the closer you come to the end of the transfer window, the more expensive he will get.”
