Arsenal - Beveren link is above board
Arsenal on Thursday night maintained their relationship with Belgian club Beveren is purely based on footballing issues following claims of irregular financial payments in the wake of an investigation by the BBC.
The Newsnight programme, set to be screened later this evening, reveals police in Belgium were alerted to an investment in the club of 1million from an anonymous donor, which the authorities eventually concluded had come from the Barclays Premiership side.
It is well known Arsenal have a deal with Beveren to play friendly matches and loan players, with Ivory Coast defender Emmanuel Eboue having joined the north London club on a permanent deal following a successful spell with the Belgian team. The Gunners, though, maintain the arrangement is purely on a football level, although confirmed that during 2001 funds were provided "by way of loan....to assist in stabilising the finances of Beveren."
