Emmanuel Eboue has hinted that he could hand in a transfer request if he is not offered more game time at Arsenal.
The Ivory Coast international has grown frustrated by his lack of starts at Emirates Stadium last season, with the right back and midfielder considered as a utility player by Arsene Wenger.
The 26-year-old joined The Gunners in January 2005 and slowly imposed himself as a first-team player in North London.
Eboue, who still appeared 28 times in the league this term, has been linked to Serie A giants Inter this season, and he has issued an ultimatum to his employers.
“[Leaving] would be hard, but I think experiencing another season like this one would be even harder, spending more time away from the pitch,” Eboue told France-Football.
“At the end of the day, if I leave Arsenal, I will move to another league because playing somewhere else in England is out of question.”
