Former Ajax Amsterdam and Real Madrid forward, Klaas Jan Hutelaar will join Arsenal if the price and weekly basis is reasonable according to Arsenal’s manager Arsene Wenger.
If Huntelaar can join Arsenal, it would be a good deal for Arsenal and Huntelaar. Arsenal needs a striker to replace van Persie who are still in injury. And Huntelaar needs to seal his position in the Dutch National team for the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
Wenger has urged Patrick Vieira to quit Inter Milan in order to make the France squad for the World Cup.
Vieira has lost his place in the national side after slipping down the pecking order under Jose Mourinho at the San Siro.
And Gunners boss Wenger said: ‘He must change club in January if he wants to play in the World Cup. He doesn’t play enough.
‘What he’s missing is playing time. To go to the World Cup at his age, you must play. But I think Patrick can regain his starting place for France.’
The Gunners are bracing themselves for a raid from Spain’s big two next summer, but Fabregas insists he is only concentrating on the short-term – neither committing his future to Arsenal nor his home country.
Arsene Wenger has no intention of selling his midfield marvel, but Barca in particular are pressing ahead with plans to seal a return to the club he left as a 16-year-old.
