Arsenal boss Wenger ponders bid for Man City midfielder Milner

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is eyeing Manchester City midfielder James Milner. The Telegraph says Wenger is considering Milner as a surprise replacement right-back for Bacary Sagna.

Wenger is interested in signing Milner from Manchester City this summer and is believed to be drawn to the idea of converting the midfielder into a right-back.

Sagna is set to join City on a free transfer after agreeing terms on a £150,000-a-week contract with the Etihad club.

One of Wenger's priorities will now be to find a replacement for Sagna and 28-year-old Milner is one of the options being spoken about at the Emirates.
