Salomon Kalou revealed that he rejected a January loan to Arsenal.
Kalou wanted to remain in Ligue 1 with Lille.
"A possible departure?" Kalou told L'Equipe. "Yes, to Arsenal. It could have been done as a last minute loan. But I want to finish third, prepare for the World Cup Stadium and go to the Stade de France to compete in the final of the Coupe de France."
Kalou confirmed that he will leave Lille in the summer.
