that Wenger is considering making a move for Gabi Milito, but holds Zapater in an even higher regard, and also that the £30 million price tag puts Wenger off Milito.
It says that the price would be £10 million, but it would be hard to tempt him to the EPL. Wenger wants him to form a midfield partnership with Fabregas to lead Arsenal into the future.
Arsenal have sent Steve Rowley in pursuit of Zapater, and has had him watched in the last 6 matches that he has played in (this is in febuary remember). It says that the scouting feedback has been superb, and that he combines his physical power, tactical discipline and the capacity to play with the likes of Fabregas, Gilberto or Ljungberg.
It then says that his contract, which runs to 2010, is not nearly as good as the pay that Aimar, Gaby Milito, Ewerthon are on. But even with the lure of a better contract and the chance to play in the EPL, it will not be simple to lure him to Arsenal.
