Arsene Wenger ready to hijack £30million United move; ARSENAL HUNT KARIM BENZEMA

ARSENAL are ready to hijack the Manchester United move for France striker Karim Benzema.

The Gunners board will be prepared to fund a £30million fee for Lyon's Benzema, 21, if Arsene Wenger opts to cash in on Emmanuel Adebayor.


AC Milan have been considering making a new move for Adebayor this week. Togo ace Adebayor, 25, has also been linked with a move to Inter Milan and even Chelsea.


United are in pole position to lure Benzema - but he is also on Real Madrid's radar. The player says he would prefer another season at Lyon to make sure he cements a place in the France side for the World Cup. But the club's owners have hinted that a bid of more than £30m would turn their heads.


Gunners chief Wenger has been a long-term fan of Benzema. There were suggestions last summer he had a verbal deal with Lyon offering him first refusal.


On the face of it, £30m would seem out of Arsenal's range. But the Arsenal board have approved up to £40m on new signings this summer and the sale of Adebayor would boost the transfer pot.


Wenger hopes to sign Brazil midfield ace Felipe Melo, 26, from Fiorentina. But the Serie A club may want £25m with Arsenal valuing him at £15m.


BENZEMA AND MELO :wipeee: WHAT A DREAM THAT WOULD BE

Thank god Melo turned us down!!! Although I don't think we wanted him anyway would not be an improvement on what we have.

Who knows if Benzema would turn us down becuase we are not going to spend that sort of money simple as that. Don't think we have it to spend.

To be fair, Melo didn't turn us down as such, it was all speculation, and his agent saying he wants to stay could just be used for more money, means fiorentina will only accept a higher bid and melo will be offered more wages = win for the agent.

I'd have Benzema at Utd, I'm not fully sure about him but he's worth the gamble IMo
