It seems Arsenal
manager Arsene Wenger has finally realised he won’t be winning titles with his
current players at his disposal after it emerged that the French man is lining
up big money moves for Manchester City bit-part striker Edin Dzeko and Napoli’s
Uruguay hit-man, Edison Cavanni.
Arsenal are 11 points adrift league leaders Manchester
United after the 3-3 draw with Fulham over the weekend and Wenger is ready to
splash the cash in the January transfer window in a bid to save their falling season.
Wenger has earmarked Manchester City
striker Edin Dzeko and Cavanni as his
top targets after being given the green light to dip into the January market to
revive Arsenal’s dwindling Champions League qualification hopes.
Wenger is keen to bolster three
areas: a goal keeper, a wide attacking player and a central striker, with Dzeko
the surprise target to become Arsenal’s central striker.
The Bosnia striker has grown
frustrated at his lack of regular football at
the Etihad Stadium and Wenger hopes to use the promise of regular football to
tempt him to the Emirates.
Other big names that have been linked
with a move to Arsenal include Athletic Bilbao striker Fernado Llorente,
Athletico Madrid striker Adrian Lopez and Swansea custodian Michel Vorm.
The Frenchman is under intense
pressure from fans and shareholders to bring in big names and Napoli striker
Cavanni has been watched extensively and as the Daily Mail reports chief scout
Steve Rowley has recommended the 25-year old.
The source further reveals that the
Gunners’ talent scout traveled to Italy last Thursday to assess Cavanni’s talents as the
striker scored all four goals as his side came from behind to beat Ukrainian
club Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk 4-2 in the Europa League.
However, it will take a massive offer
to tempt Napoli to part with their most prized asset.
