The Arsenal target Yann M’Vila has gotten himself into big trouble and spent a night in jail after he punched a 17-year-old teenager. They certainly weren’t having a friendly game of roulette when he lashed out!
The French international defensive midfielder missed the weekend game due to this problem, and will probably face further consequences after attacking the 17-year-old.
According to the player’s lawyer, a decision has yet been made by the prosecutor who will look into this case next week. The incident occurred at M’Vila’s home and the victim was a close friend of the defensive midfielder according to Fillion.
“Yann has acknowledged that it was an inappropriate response but provoked by the betrayal of the trust he gave to this young man,” Thierry Fillion, told L’Equipe.
“As it stands, no decision has been taken yet by the Rennes prosecutor on this case but the file will be forwarded to him within eight to 10 days.”
Arsenal has been watching M’Vila for two seasons now and Wenger attempted to transfer him last season as well. It seems that the French manager is going to submit a fee of £17million which is likely to persuade Rennes to let the defensive midfielder go.
That will not stop us from signing him, Wenger carry on i hail you. M’villa belongs to Arsenal.
By a 17 year old come on this guy is a regular international football player. He is a role model to many young players out there you can not do what he did. Arsenal can not have players like this. Martinez is and always has been the player who arsenal should be looking at
The 17 year old was offensive to the Yann’s sister… Well deserved.
Maybe the kid was a yid ?
The golden rule for all professional sportsmen is “avoid trouble” when at all possible. My brother-in-law was a professional boxer and British title holder. He didn`t drink but would go to the pub to be sociable. He was often taunted and in some cases pushed but he never retaliated or he would lose his licence and face criminal charges as his fists were legally considered to be potentially lethal weapons. All high profile sportsmen no matter what sport should try to follow his example otherwise today`s media will crucify them. For us old blokes many arguments were settled out the back of the pub, then we`d carry on drinking with our adversary, but that was then and we weren`t in the public eye.
