ARSENAL are ready to launch an £18million bid for Dutch
goal ace Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is lining
up the prolific Ajax striker as a replacement for Emmanuel Adebayor
— if the £30m-rated Togo hitman is sold to Barcelona.
The double deal would net the Gunners a £12m profit. But the
Frenchman insists that sort of business is essential and will stun
every Arsenal fan by admitting: We are now a SELLING club. The £24m
annual mortgage payments on the club’s £360m Emirates Stadium have
become such a burden that Wenger admits he must now flog big-name
players EVERY season.
