Arsenal boss Wenger targets cut-price Liverpool keeper Reina

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to launch a bid for Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina. The Mail on Sunday says Arsenal are considering a £5million move for Reina.

Wenger needs a second goalkeeper after Lukasz Fabianski moved to Swansea but Reina's arrival would put current keeper Wojciech Szczesny under huge pressure. Reina would expect to oust him and play in the first team if he were to make the move.

The Liverpool keeper spent all last year on loan at Napoli and though Rafa Benitez would be keen to have him back in Serie A next season, Liverpool would prefer him to have a permanent move so they do not have to keep subsidising his wages.
