Soccernet claim that Arsenal have bid £4million for Bordeaux's right full-back Francois Grenet. Grent is
25 and is a second-string French international. Not second-string for long if Wenger gets hold of him, methinks.
See here for a picture of Grenet shrugging off Nicky Butt in Bordeaux's
Champs League meeting with Man Utd earlier this season. The page
seems to think he's a midfielder. Well, he certainly used to be, and if you look at the "curriculum" link you'll see he used to be a centre forward. Oh gosh, the official Bordeaux site says he's a midfielder too.
So maybe he's not the threat to Lee Dixon
we're expecting to be signed this summer. Right-back/midfielder/centre-forward, and who's to say that Wenger wouldn't manage to turn him into something else: could be a useful squad player, anyway!
The first-choice French full-back Lilian Thuram is
now rumoured to be George Graham's main target for the summer.
