Arsenal to test Newcastle resolve over Given
tribalfootball.com - February 27, 2006
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to bid for Newcastle United
goalkeeper Shay Given.
The People says Wenger knows he needs a long-term replacement for
Jens Lehmann, who is only likely to stay at Highbury for one more
season.
And the Gunners boss has been alerted to Given's situation after
rumours on Tyneside that the Republic of Ireland star could be
ready for a change.
Wenger will find it hard to tempt Newcastle into selling but he
will have a major transfer fund in the summer and has made a new
top-class keeper one of his priorities
