ARSENAL are ready to offer £2million for Mexico whizkid Carlos Fierro.

The striker scored four goals and claimed five assists to help his nation to glory at the Under-17s World Cup.
Fierro, who plays for Chivas Guadalajara, was voted the third best player at the tournament.
And the youngster, 16, has been compared to Manchester United ace Javier Hernandez.
The Gunners would be prepared to loan Fierro back to Chivas and play the Mexicans in a friendly.
Tottenham and German side Hoffenheim are also watching him.

AS are reporting that Barca have signed sanchez for 40mil.....but wait for it...with payments spread over 5 years.

That rules them out of Cesc for a couple of years.

Last month Real Madrid bought Nuri Sahin for €10 million in 6 years deal, great bargain by Mourinho. This will definitely push Kaka out of first eleven imo.

HAMBURG have joined the race for Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner.

The £10million-rated striker is heading for the Emirates exit door after failing to establish himself as a first-team regular under Arsene Wenger.

Bendtner was left out of the Gunners' pre-season tour of Asia and Hamburg sporting director Frank Arnesen has confirmed he is a fan of the 23-year-old Dane.

Arnesen said: "We need more creativity in our offence. A midfielder with quality would be good for us.

"Bendtner would be a real dream, he is a very interesting player.

"He can also play as an attacking midfielder behind the attacker.

"But it would almost amount to a small miracle for us to get him.

"There are two other clubs who have made Nicklas an offer and we are unfortunately not in that position."

Benfica and AC Milan have also been linked with a move for Bendtner.

Bender "a real dream".

Werder Bremen centre-back Per Mertesacker has revealed he would be tempted by a move to the Premier League.

Arsenal are reportedly interested in Mertesacker, with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger yet to bolster the centre of his defence this summer.

Furthermore, the 26-year-old Germany international has entered the final 12 months of his contract, adding weight to speculation of an exit during the current transfer window.

"Obviously, from a certain perspective, the Premier League is a very tempting league to play in," he told FIFA's official website. "England is, alongside Spain, a better league than the Bundesliga and is made up of several top-class teams. This is very tempting.

"A move to a foreign country will always enrich a player from a sporting and from a human perspective. Playing in a foreign country makes you better, while living in a foreign country pushes you forward. Everyone tells you that all the time.

"Things experienced there are important in life, (although) a way back to Germany should hopefully never be ruled out."

Don't really watch Bundesliga but believe Bremen were almost relegated last year. Wonder how much Mertesacker contributed to that.

Would be a decent enough buy if he came though.
