Ali Relishes Opportunity

The 22-year-old has joined Celtic for a year to gain the experience Wenger believes he needs to make him a fixture in future Gunners sides.
"My ambition is to score a lot of goals and play in the Champions League. Arsenal is a big club with big players and I know it is hard to start every game," he said. "And that is why I came here - to get more of an opportunity to play and prove that I am ready to play at Arsenal, or anywhere."
A number of other Premiership clubs had been keen to borrow him, as had some of the top teams back in France.
But he revealed: "I knew straight away this would be the best opportunity for me, to be at Celtic because it is a big club with big ambitions.
"To play in front of 60,000 people is really exciting and that was also a factor in choosing this club."
Strachan insisted he would be delighted if Aliadiere went back to London having made himself a crowd favourite at Parkhead.
He said: "I would honestly love it if he got to that position. If the fans are screaming for him to stay and he has scored lots of goals I would love it.
"I'm not disappointed I have got him for just a year. It makes me happy because it is a bonus.
"It just was not possible to have him for longer. A lot of people in England would have liked him for a year so I can't be too greedy."
