Argentine attacking midfielder Ricky Alvarez has revealed on Twitter tonight that signing for Arsenal would be a dream for him, and he ‘prays to God’ that recent rumours linking him with a move to Emirates Stadium ‘become true’.
阿根廷籍進攻中場 Ricky Alvarez 今晚在 Twitter 表示加入 Arsenal 是他的夢想，並‘祈求神’讓最近傳聞他會來到 Emirates Stadium 的消息‘變成真實’。

The Gunners were believed to be closing in on the acquisition of the highly-rated 23-year-old after Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini last week claimed that the Argentine had snubbed a move to the Serie A side as he had already agreed to join Arsene Wenger’s side.
據信槍手幾近於簽下這名評價極高且23歲的球員，義甲 Palermo 球隊總理 Maurizio Zamparini 上週也表示這名阿根廷籍球員拒絕加入義甲球隊，因為該球員同意加盟 教授 的球隊。

However, those claims were quickly quashed by the player himself on Twitter last week, when he promised to tell his fans that they would be ‘the first to know’ if he genuniely signed for a new club.
無論如何，該宣稱很快就被球員本人否定，並表示若真的加入了新的俱樂部，球迷會是第一個知道加盟的消息。

“I would love to play for Arsenal, it would be a dream for me! I pray to God that this becomes true”, Alvarez said on Twitter.
『我想為 Arsenal 踢球，那正是我的夢想。我祈求神讓這願望實現。』Alvarez 在 Twitter 上如是說。

Doubts over the legibility of Alvarez’ Twitter account were also rebuffed by respected Argentine journalist Gustavo Cima earlier in the week when he confirmed that it belongs to Velez Sarsfield star. Arsenal are yet to make a formal offer for Alvarez.
有人懷疑該 Twitter 帳號的真實性，但很快就被阿根廷籍記者 Gustavo Cima 出面證實，表示帳號確實屬於 Velez Sarsfield 球隊的該名球星。Arsenal 尚未對 Alvarez 提出正式報價。

Transfer movement is expected to begin for Arsene Wenger’s men when the window formally opens on Friday, with Gervinho already being touted as the first major signing of the summer.
轉會窗口將於本週五正式開展，教授 旗下的球員亦會有所變動，其中 Gervinho 將預料成為今夏第一筆引援。
