Reports in Italy suggest that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could
be lining up a sensational loan swoop for troubled Inter striker
Adriano.
Wenger currently has four natural strikers in the shape of Robin
Van Persie, Emmanuel Adebayor, Eduardo Da Silva and Nicklas
Bendtner. The latter is keen to gain more first team football and
may be sent out on loan in January, thus paving the way for
Adriano.
While The Emperor, who is eligible to play in the Champions
League, would move to the Emirates Stadium, out-of-favour Gunners
midfielder Gilberto Silva would travel the other way to San
Siro.
Gilberto is keen to leave Arsenal after losing his place in the
team to Frenchman Matthieu Flamini.
Inter are in desperate need of midfield reinforcements as Patrick
Vieira is constantly injured, while Luis Figo is out for a number
of months after fracturing his leg.
