Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger
is understood to have £100 million to spend this summer on
reinforcements but should he part with sentiment and ignore the
opportunity to buy back the club's former captain, Cesc Fabregas?
Goal revealed in April that Barcelona would be prepared to listen to offers
for the player whom they bought from the Gunners nearly three years ago
and, with the north Londoners understood to have first refusal on a
player of undoubted class, Wenger might be tempted to exercise that
clause.
But former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour believes that Wenger's priorities should lie elsewhere
and that he should be looking to buy a striker capable of providing
Olivier Giroud with genuine competition before adding to his already
well-stocked midfield.
The Gunners are also likely to require
defensive reinforcements this summer, with Bacary Sagna expected to
complete a move to Manchester City in the coming weeks, while club
captain Thomas Vermaelen is also set to reassess his future after the
World Cup.
Wenger, who himself is yet to sign a new contract with
the club, will also be in the market for a new goalkeeper after FA Cup
hero Lukasz Fabianski revealed that the Wembley triumph over Hull City
marked his last appearance for club.
