The ex-Monaco player was close to signing for Lille in 2011

Park represented Monaco for three seasons, and put in good displays in the 2010-11 season. However, the club were relegated. The Korean expressed his desire to play in a more competitive league and Monaco said they wouldn't stand in his way.

The player was set for a move to Lille after agreeing on the fees and wages. He was in the hotel in Lille and when the club officials went to agree on the terms, the player was missing.

It was later discovered that Park was on his way to Arsenal who had promised better terms than Lille. On 30th August 2011, Wenger signed Park. The player spent three years at Arsenal but only made seven appearances.
