Arsene Wenger decided that Marc Overmars was worth £7 million, and he was not let down. The talented Dutch midfielder looks set to sign a five year contract with Arsenal for about £1 million per year. He has convinced Arsenal fans that he is fully recovered from the horrific knee injury that kept him out of Euro 96. Overmars seems happy with Arsenal, he told the press ``There were other clubs in other countries that were interested but it will be good to play in England. I have heard only good things about Arsenal from Dennis(Bergkamp). He's a great player doing very well here.''
