Wenger admits Ben Arfa interest
-
Arsene Wenger has admitted he is keen on luring Lyon winger Hatem Ben Arfa to Arsenal in the summer.
The Gunners boss is one of many admirers of the France starlet with Manchester United and Tottenham also showing reported interest in Ben Arfa.
But the 21-year-old still has two years left to serve on his contract at the Stade Gerland and the Ligue 1 giants are determined to keep hold of him.
Wenger revealed he would be willing to pay what is thought to be a hefty asking price if the highly-rated youngster became available.
He told The Sun: "If Ben Arfa is for sale, then we are very interested."
Meanwhile, the Emirates outfit have also been linked with a swoop for impressive Barnsley goalkeeper Heinz Muller.
The Tykes stopper is currently sidelined with a knee injury, but is reported to have captured Wenger's attention following his heroic performances at Oakwell.
The 29-year-old is touted to be the replacement for fellow German and out-of-favour Arsenal keeper Jens Lehmann.

Wenger should have bought Franck Ribery in June... With his connections to the French side, Ribery would have gone to Arsenal instead of Bayern Munich... Just that Wenger didn't want to pay for him only...

Agree ! That's what I've thought after watching the France vs England match this morning ... If only Wenger is willing to fork out more for him , we won't have to make do with Eboue on the right ... Good thing for us is he didn't end up in Manchester either

and morever, bayern munich was really sneaky, bought him so early but well they can't really fight with other top european clubs for players.
somemore, ribery said he wanted to leave marsielle to play in europe, and he went to bayern. but yeah ribery would definitely have came to Arsenal, and whats with not wanting to hurt his young players pride, the likes of Fabregas etc would rather have Ribery on the wings rather then Eboue.
