Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger is desperately searching for a
central midfielder in the January transfer window after learning
that influential captain Cesc Fabregas will be out of action for up
to four months with a serious knee injury.
Barcelona-based daily, Sport believes that the Gunners
are about to raid the Catalans again, although they are not looking
for someone from their cantera (youth system) this time
around.
Ivory Coast midfielder Toure Yaya has been strongly linked with
Arsenal and Juventus over the past few months and it appears that
the London-based outfit are finally preparing to make their move as
they seek a replacement for Fabregas.
It is reported that the Blaugrana have set a price of around
€8.5 million for the 25-year-old defensive midfielder, who is
equally adept at attacking.
Wenger have also been keeping a close eye on Liverpool’s Xabi
Alonso, Villarreal’s Marcos Senna and Udinese’s Gokhan Inler.
