Arsenal are ready to step up their interest in Celtic
goalkeeper Artur Boruc after he revealed he wants out of
Parkhead.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is keen to draft in a new goalkeeper
next summer as Jens Lehmann looks certain to return to Germany and
Boruc is known to be a top target.
Celtic value the goalkeeper in the region of £10million but Boruc
believes he may be able to walk away a year early for a cut-price
fee, just like Andy Webster did when he left Hearts for
Wigan.
Boruc is contracted until June 2009, but like Webster he could use
Article 17 of FIFA's transfer regulations and leave early, news
which is sure to alert Wenger.
"Celtic want more than £10million for me but I think it is too
much," Boruc revealed. "There is much to look forward to with the
Champions League in spring and then the European Championship in
the summer, but many things can change and I have to see what is
best for me."
He's a good keeper. Can repalce
mad jens and aluminium.
