Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants Sunderland's Craig Gordon
to solve his problem position of goalkeeper, according to Sunday
paper reports.
The Gunners chief has insisted in recent weeks that he wasn't
looking for a new No.1, but the alarming form of Lucasz Fabianski
has forced him into a re-think.
Fabianski has a made a number of high-prolife errors in recent
weeks as stand-in for Manuel Almunia, another man who has had a
less than convincing season, and many pundits have insisted that
Wenger must buy a new keeper if the north Londoners are to
challenge for the big prizes.
And now it seems as though the Frenchman has come around to that
way of thinking as he plots a raid for the Wearsiders' Scottish
international.
Sunderland would want to recoup the £9million they paid to
Hearts to land Gordon in 2007 but, with money to spend, that fee
would not be a problem for the Gunners.
If Wenger fails in a move for Gordon, he will turn his attention
to Blackburn's former Tottenham stopper, Paul Robinson.
