Gunners close-in on Enrique.




Newcastle left-back Jose Enrique is set to be the next player to leave St. James’ Park this summer and join Arsenal, The Times reports.


Enrique has been the rumour of an £12 million bid from Arsenal and with current Gunners left back Gael Clichy the target of a bid from Italian side AS Roma, the path is clear for the Spaniard to join Arsene Wenger’s side. The 25 year old Enrique has rejected a contract offer extension from Newcastle and with reported interest from Liverpool and Manchester City for Enrique’s services, Arsenal will have to act fast to get their man this summer.


Preliminary talks between Enrique’s agent and Arsenal representatives have taken place and it is highly expected that as soon as Clichy’s transfer to Roma is finalised, Enrique will be brought in to replace the French left back in North London.

I doubt we'd spend £12m on a LB.

Least of all Enrique.

12 mil ouch......would like him at Arsenal but for tht price.......

if he is 12 mil then we should be asking for not too much less than that for Clichy, I hear 5 or 6 mil?
