Antonio Puerta

[entropy13]

Arsenal boss Arsène Wenger is eyeing Sevilla's exciting young midfield pair Jesus Navas and Antonio Puerta.

DiarioSport says Gunners chief scout Steve Rowley spent two days in Seville watching the duo in training recently.

Winger Navas and midfielder Puerta are already part of Luis Aragones' Spain squad and regarded as two of the brightest young talents in the country.

Wenger is keen on both, though knows a move for Navas will be difficult because of his diagnosed anxiety problems.

I've seen him play once, against Valencia, and he looked pretty good. Skilled and pacy, skinned Valencia's great right back miguel on a couple of ocassions.

 

[has this been taken??]

From the small bits I have seen of Puerta, he is a very good player. He is very tricky and has a great left foot. He ripped Barca apart in the Super Cup and he looks pretty strong so should be able to adapt.

I don't see why we would be after both to be honest. After all they both play in the same position.

Interesting, very interesting:

Hmm not sure if Wenger's planning Ljungberg's replacements already...

We never really replaced Pires or Reyes either

 

[Gurgen]

I'd be very disappointed if Wenger hadn't started planning Ljungberg's replacement already

ditto. I know its a joke, but its quite true. Freddie's demise has been quite sad, but wenger should know by this far into the season that he needs replacing.

indeed, i'm expecting one of the 2 wingers to move here either in the summer after we hopefully offload ljunberg, or maybe even in the January transfer window.

Anyone know why he was an unused sub against Madrid on the weekend?

he came on in the 71st minute, so basically he wasn't an unused sub

 

[Lord Dula]

Oh ok - I must have read a dodgy match report. That or miss read it. Cheers.

 

[Mr. Hotshot]

I've seen him play a couple of times, and what I've seen from him is that he has good body strength to shrug off oponents. Very pacy, plus strong. Navas is more to scoring goals while this guy is more to assisting and getting everybody involved in a game by unselfishly giving passes to his team mates. He's similar to that boro chump, Downing, except more faster and stronger

New bid for Sevilla starlets

I don't think the club is Arsenal.Cannot see us buying two wingers.If we do then someone is surely leaving.

Wenger has already said players could be leaving and we know he doesnt like to alert other clubs to his buys . This could be great news !!

 

[dos1986]

Would prefer Navas from what Ive seen of him Navas is faster and much better one on one hes better in front of goal too,puerta is too hlebish for me

 

[GoonerGurjit]

I'd be amazed if Wenger has a serious interest in Jesus Navas.
