English newspaper the Daily Mirror reported on Sunday that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger faces a race against time to sign Anthony Annan.According to the report, Wenger has contacted the Ghanaian's Norwegian club Rosenborg to sign the £1.5million-rated midfielder. But Rosenborg, where Annan currently plays, want him to play in a UEFA Cup qualifier on Thursday. The report comes even though the player's management agency rubbished reports last month that the midfielder was on the verge of leaving the club for England. SEM, who represents the player, stressed last month that the player would not leave Rosenborg and stressed that he was happy in Norway."These quotes are not accurate, Anthony is very happy at Rosenborg and he is enjoying playing for them," the SEM statement said."Anthony has always said he would like to play in England, but he has just moved to Rosenborg and is doing very well."Of course we are aware of interest, as there always has been, in Anthony - but there are certainly no negotiations."After various English clubs failed to make a move for him, Rosenborg stepped in and snapped him up on transfer deadline day from IK Start when they paid £1.2million for his services.Annan has settled in well at Rosenborg and he is already attracted more attention with his performances for them.Source: Ghanasoccernet
