Arsenal' Swiss defender Phillipe Senderos could be used as a pawn in the luring of Felipe Melo to Arsenal according reports in Italy. Tabloids in Italy are suggesting that Senderos could be key to Melo's current club Fiorentina accepting a transfer bid from the Gunners. 

La Viola are said to be keen admirers of the Swiss international, after the 23-year-old's 14 league appearances for Milan last term.

Senderos admitted that his future could lie away from Arsenal, he told Setanta.com earlier this month:

“I am waiting for news about my future. At the present time it depends on Arsenal.

“As far as I am concerned I would like to stay in Milan because I do not think that there is a place for me at Arsenal.

“But right now it’s up to Arsenal to do something.”

“I am aware that several English clubs have asked about me, but there’s nothing much I know,” he said.

“I experienced ups and downs at Arsenal but maybe at one moment they didn’t have enough patience and I went out on loan.”

“My season with Milan wasn’t great, but I understand that my style of football corresponds more to the Italian league than to the English one,” he humbly added.

“I didn’t have any problem with Ancelotti. The reason why I didn’t play much this season is the internal competition, which is huge in here.

“It’s an issue but I remain pretty much optimistic and want another chance. A new manager has taken over and I could have more opportunities to play under him.”
