Wenger wants Udinese’s ‘new Messi’ at Arsenal

Arsene Wenger is this morning reported to be keeping tabs on Udinese’s Romanian winger Gabriel Torje.

A report in the Mirror claims that the 21-year-old – being called the “Romanian Messi” says Wenger has been impressed with his progress at Udinese. Torje moved to the Italian side from Dynamo Bucharest.

The Sun suggests that we would have to pay big money for the player who has been a hit in Italy since his £9million summer move from Dinamo Bucharest.

This next one has to be a bit of a flyer: Reporst suggest Arsenal may consider a “shock move” for Chelsea striker Didier Drogba who has yet to sign an extension to his deal with the Stamford Bridge club.

Another yarn doing the rounds claims we have joined the race to sign Dutch side VVV-Venlo’s promising 18-year-old Nigerian winger Ahmed Musa. Meanwhile, the Mail says Arsenal are amongts a host of clubs looking to snap up Chelsea defender Alex in January. The Brazilian, 29, has not played since he was sent off against Fulham in the Carling Cup.
