Football Breaking News: Arsenal ready to find immediate solutions
Arsenals boss Arsene Wenger is finally ready to make a significant offer to bring Manchester City’s reserve goal keeper, Joe Hart to the Emirates. Hart has been highly impressive throughout his career and even managed to make the English national team at the tender age of twenty three. It might appear like there are numerous players playing at the international level at that age, but none of those players are goal keepers.
Joe Hart has also caught the eye of Sunderland who was looking to sign the player. However ever since the news of the players availability reached the ears of Arsene Wenger, he has increased his pursuit to sign the player.
Arsene Wenger is hoping to sign the eight million rated keeper on a permanent basis. Wenger was initially looking to lure the keeper to the Emirates on a loan deal but now wants to make the move permanent, due to the current keeper situation at the club.
Shay Given is all set to be starting in goal for Manchester City this season. This would leave Hart on the bench again. He would be concerned about sitting on the bench for another season. Since the last time Shay was made to do so, he pursued a loan move to Birmingham. The goalkeeper was highly successful at Birmingham and even managed a ridiculous seven clean sheets in a row. His heroics made him a hero at St Andrews.
Mark Hughes, who is now the new manager at Fulham, is also trying his level best to shake off any advances by the North London club. The advances that Hughes is shaking off are for Fulham star goal keeper, Mark Schwarzer. Schwarzer was the first keeper that Wenger had in mind to recruit for Arsenal. Due to the fact that Roy Hodgson left Fulham to join Liverpool meant that the deal had to be stalled between the clubs. Now with the new manager Mark Hughes coming in the deal has taken a further few steps backwards, with the manager claiming that he doesn’t wish to sell the player.
Knowing that Arsenal only have Manuel Almunia and Lukasz Fabianski as the two keepers to choose between Wenger started looking for other options. He did so because both those keepers had been terrible for Arsenal all season long. He has now turned his attention to Joe Hart who he believes can settle the nerves in between the goals for Arsenal. However the only barrier between the deals going through is Mancini.
Mancini has stated that he would like the player to go out on a loan instead of selling the player. He said so because he realizes the potential that Hart possesses and knows that he is future star in the making.
However considering that City is currently looking to offload as many players as possible they just might let go of Hart. They would do so, in hopes of lowering the player wages that they are currently paying. City currently have the highest paid footballer amongst their ranks. Yaya Toure currently earns two hundred and forty thousand a week at City. This is why experts predict that they would welcome any reduction in salaries that they need to pay.
The move could be beneficial for both the teams. City would be lowering their player wages and Arsenal would be gaining a keeper who would actually goal keep. Last season Arsenal lost nearly twenty points according to experts due to the errors that were displayed by their goal keepers. If Arsenal can cut down on those errors then they might just be able to finally lift some silverware this coming season.
