The Gunners are in the market for a new striker as rumours
continue to swell regarding Barcelona’s interest in Emmanuel
Adebayor.
The North Londoners have recently been linked with Stuttgart
striker Mario Gomez, as well as Blackburn hitman Roque Santa Cruz
and Ajax gun Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
But reports from England suggest Wenger is lining up a shock ₤5
million bid for Saha, with the French forward facing the axe at Old
Trafford this summer.
The United benchwarmer has suffered a string of injuries since
his ₤12.8 million move from Fulham in 2004, and he admitted
recently that Wednesday’s Champions League final against Chelsea
could be his last game for United.
“The future isn't in my hands,” said the 29-year-old. “I know this
could be my last game, and I would understand if the manager went
for another striker. I can't speak about my future too much really
now, though.”
Sir Alex Ferguson is unlikely to sell to his rivals, however, given
the saga that surrounded Liverpool’s approach for ex-United
defender Gabriel Heinze last summer.
But with Saha impressing during the Red Devils’ visit to the
Emirates earlier in the season, Wenger may be bent on luring the
silky striker down south to add to the Gunners’ already healthy
French contingent.
oh please, really hope this is just a fake news
