Arsenal winger on Real Madrid’s wish-list

Alexander Hleb wants to leave Arsenal because he thinks London is too noisy a place. Well, in that case he will love Real Madrid, because that is where Sky Sports thinks he is heading. The Madrid outfit have declared that they are “surprised” that Hleb has become available, but they have added him to their wish-list.

The Belorussian’s agent recently declared that he expects his client to leave Arsenal in the near future and Inter Milan was thought to be leading the chase for the winger, but now Real Madrid have come out in characteristic style with a public announcement regarding Hleb. According to Sky Sports, Bernd Schuster, the Real Madrid manager told AS:

“Over the past two months we have had a plan and we know what we want, but now Hleb has been added.

“We did not know he could leave Arsenal but in recent days it has been more positive. We were surprised that he might leave there.”

    The greed of the modern footballer is only exceeded by that of their agents. Good luck to Hleb but I wonder if he will be as successful at his next club as he was at Arsenal?

    Arsenal need a midfielder who will create and score goals. Nasri looks interesting but I think Ben Arfa’s a better long term bet. It would be interesting if both were purchased.

    I think Arsenal must make a preparation to next session. Don’t bother bout Hleb. It would be greatful if Arsenal bid hamburg SV’s midfielder Van der Vaart, PSV’s winger Farfan and I’ll be proudly for Arsenal if they can bring David Villa to Emirates Stadium. So, good bye Hleb….
