Kalou’s release clause is just £2.5 million which had attracted Wenger the most.
But Arsene Wenger’s first choice remains Julian Draxler for whom the club would bid £24.7 million.
Several other English clubs, which included Liverpool and rivals Tottenahm Hotspur, had also shown interest in the Ivory Coast striker. The ex-Chelsea player too was keen to come back to London.
Salomon Kalou scored 22 goals and provided nine assists since joining the club in the summer of 2012. He was a member of Chelsea’s Champions League winning squad in 2012.
